Joe Louis Outside the Ring

Bronze and granite base, 10 x 4 x 4 feet

This joint project honors the great Joe Louis and his contributions to the world of sports outside of boxing, in particular to the sport of golf. This statue was a collaboration between the City of Detroit's Department of Arts, Culture, and Entrepreneurship and the Joe Louis Greenway, the 29-mile recreational pathway connecting the surrounding neighborhoods. Installed near the pavilion at the Greenway's Grand River Trailhead, tell your friends: meet me at the Joe!
