The Hon. Nathaniel R. Jones Conference Room at Blank Rome
“The extraordinary, immeasurable life and achievements of Judge Jones are a testament that progress doesn’t just happen on its own. It is never
a given that things will get better
over time. Progress happens because people like Nathaniel R. Jones stepped up, challenged the status quo, and gave everything of themselves in advocacy of the oppressed. It’s on all of us to carry that legacy forward.”
— Aftab Pureval, Cincinnati mayor
In November 2022, a sculpture commemorating Judge Jones was unveiled in a ceremony at the Freedom Center.
