Culture
Erected in 1927, the Victory Monument is a bronze and granite sculptural monument, based on a concept by John A. Nyden and sculpted by Leonard Crunelle. It was built to honor the Eighth Regiment of the Illinois National Guard, an African-American unit that served with distinction in France during World War I. It may be the only memorial statue dedicated to African-American soldiers of the Great War.
