First African American Elected Mayor of Gary

This life-size bronze sculpture was created to honor Richard Gordon Hatcher. Mayor Hatcher made history by becoming the first African-American elected mayor of a major U. S. city. He served in the office from 1968 to 1988. Gary Tillery sculpted the work under the watchful eye of the family of Mayor Hatcher, and it was unveiled in front of City Hall in Gary, Indiana, in October 2019.
