An image of the David Oluwale memorial sculpture due to be unveiled in Leeds next year has been released for the first time.
The artwork, which has been christened ‘Hibiscus Rising’, will be placed in a specially-designed green space within the new city centre Aire Park. It’s been described as a “symbol for growth, hope and harmony.”
The sculpture is a tribute to Nigerian-born Mr Oluwale, who was subject to repeated racism and police brutality, before he drowned in the River Aire in 1969.
