Sculptor Richard Hunt, who died last December, had a career that spanned roughly 70 years, with his work appearing in museums and public spaces across the country, and was the first African American sculptor to have a retrospective at MOMA. Block Club Chicago's Rachel Hinton talked to artists who were inspired by his extraordinary life and work. "I would walk past his monument[s] every day — it’s kind of like the pinnacle of what I wanted to be,” sculptor Faheem Majeed says. “Richard is who I wanted to be at a certain point in my life before I even met him.”

Jazzie Collins was a Black, trans, HIV+ woman. Her campaigning and organizing highlights the way in which so many of our struggles are linked. Jazzie campaigned on economic inequality, housing issues, disability rights and trans rights.
The struggles always have and always will be linked. Be like Jazzie and take action against inequality.
