Rumors of War

Rumors of War is a monumental bronze statue created by renowned artist Kehinde Wiley, prominently displayed in Times Square, New York City. Standing 27 feet tall and 16 feet wide, the sculpture features a young Black man confidently steering a horse, symbolizing a powerful statement on Black identity and American history.

The exhibition, which celebrates Black contributions to American culture, will be on view until December 1 before traveling to Richmond, Virginia. This work serves as a resilient marker against the backdrop of Confederate monuments, emphasizing the need for broader representations of American identity.
