The event will begin in the parking lot at Breckenridge Place Apartments (100 W Seneca St, Ithaca) and move along Cayuga Street to Henry St. John School (301 S Geneva St, Ithaca), guided by a procession celebrating local change-making women throughout history.
Interesting fact: only 9% of public statues in America represent women, and only 1% represent women of color.
