Light Dispelling Darkness is a striking WPA-era sculpture and fountain located in Roosevelt Park, Edison, NJ. Created in 1937 by sculptor Waylande Gregory, the elaborate Art Deco piece symbolizes a united world where Science, Industry, and Education triumph over War, Famine, Pestilence, Death, Greed, and Materialism.

Recently renovated, this unique attraction offers visitors a chance to appreciate the intricate figures up close, especially when the fountain is dry. It stands as a notable example of America's historical public art and is worth a detour for those exploring offbeat sites in the area.
