This painting is a tribute to Alberta Odell Jones, an attorney and civil rights activist, who was brutally murdered at the age of 34. She graduated fourth in her class at Howard University Law School, was one of the first black women to pass the Kentucky Bar, and became the first female black proscutor in Louisville Kentucky in 1965. She proscuted many white men for spousal abuse. In the night of August 5, 1965, her green Ford Fairlane was ambushed on the Sherman Minton Bridge, she was beaten with a brick and her body dumped over the edge into the Ohio River. Despite witnesses and fingerprints, her murderers have never been identified or prosecuted.
