Created by sculptor Geneva Mercer in 1933, this white marble bas relief memorializes Julia Tutwiler, who died in 1916. This work was commissioned by the Alabama Centennial Commission and placed in the Capitol Rotunda in Montgomery, in recognition of Tutwiler’s contributions as a teacher, poet, prison reformer, and pioneer of industrial and university education for Alabama women.
