Greetings, and welcome to the Mother of Humanity® monument blog.  My name is Nijel Binns.  I am a professional artist.  As a sculptor, in 1992, shortly after the infamous riots in Los Angeles I created and sculpted a monument I call the Mother of Humanity®.  It was designed to represent peace, the origins of humanity as coming out of Africa, and as a symbol to uplift mothers and children of the world.  A 16 foot tall bronze Mother of Humanity® monument was unveiled and permanently installed in Watts, California on Mother's Day, May 11, 1996.  Over the next few weeks I will share more with you about the monument, it's meaning and the vision I have for it.
