The city directed $195,000 to restore the decayed artwork near Mountain View Park after years of community advocates pleas
A historic statue at Mountain View Park is finally getting the attention San Diego’s Black community has been pleading that it deserves. As it stands today, “The Black Family” statue is a far cry from what was once a symbol of the community’s culture, of family and of belonging. The wooden sculpture has disintegrated, and all that remains is a weathered plaque in front of a barren brick base. For nearly two years, local community advocates have been calling on the city to rebuild the statue.
Rossie Wade created “The Black Family” in 1974 while a resident artist at San Diego Community College’s Educational Cultural Complex just down the street. The 6-foot sculpture depicted a family of four who appeared to reach toward the sky. “An ideal that comes close to the one of family is community,” Wade’s daughter Carole Wade Boyce said at Tuesday's event. “This park has been a community beacon for decades and was a haven for family picnics, celebrations and concert events.
