The Chief Boston Daniels Monument, sculpted by world-renowned artist Ed Dwight, honors the legacy of Kansas City, Kansas’ first Black police chief and serves as a powerful symbol of community pride, history, and resilience. Scheduled for completion and installation by August 2026, the monument marks Mr. Dwight’s first public installation in his hometown and his final artistic work after more than 50 years of internationally recognized contributions to art and cultural storytelling.
