Bethune-Cookman College goddess statue deemed inappropriate

I thought this may be of interest to the Ladies of AKA

DAYTONA BEACH -- Bethune-Cookman College students are returning to campus this week to find a long-standing statue gone.

The pink and green Alpha Kappa Alpha statue which stood outside White Hall for 31 years has been removed, just in time for the inauguration of new college President Trudie Kibbe Reed later this month. It has been replaced by a birdbath.

The statue, which depicted a Greek goddess clad in a toga with one breast exposed, caught Reed's attention not long after she started work in nearby White Hall.

She felt it was in poor taste and didn't help with the mission of mentoring young women to respect their bodies.
