“Glass Ceiling” is a commissioned piece was a collective effort of three local artists and honors the late Evelyn Gandy, known for her pioneering and collaborative path in Mississippi politics. The project was completed in a partnership between HAPA, the 19th Amendment Committee, and 2024 Gandy Leadership Academy. In addition to many local and state roles, Gandy served as Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi from 1976 to 1980. As the first woman elected to a statewide office in Mississippi, she broke the glass ceiling for many who came after her.
