What a privilege it was to rightfully honor the pioneer Thomas Fountain Blue and his wife Cornelia Johnson Blue. We must continue to illuminate the stories of these amazing figures, and celebrate all they’ve contributed to make Louisville a better city.
Many thanks to the partners who made this necessary memorial possible - Frazier History Museum, Louisville Free Public Library, Western Branch Library, Friends of Eastern Cemetery, and Library Foundation and Bays Brothers for their generosity.
