Lady Justice of The Bronx

“She’s not standing, she’s not blindfolded, and she doesn’t have a scale. She holds a sword. She’s in The Bronx, after all. She knew she had to defend herself.”

 

Lady Justice is usually blindfolded and holding scales of justice, but the one at the old Bronx Borough Courthouse is a little different. I was curious about the backstory, did some digging, and found connections to Tennessee and France. But now she’s pure Bronx.
