SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The San Francisco Arts Commission and Port of San Francisco celebrated a new art installation on Tuesday along the Embarcadero.

Crews set up a nine-foot bronze sculpture between the Ferry Building and Pier 1 earlier this week.

San Francisco's new installation shows a young Black woman in jogging clothes, meant to challenge the thought of who gets to be memorialized in bronze.
