Earlier this week, a marker erected near the site of the former Moffatt Cemetery noting the final resting place of Legins-Costley was dedicated as part of the new Freedom and Remembrance Memorial in south Peoria. Now, a pocket park in the city she called home for decades also bears her name, and that of her son, William.
The park in the 400 block of Court Street was dedicated during Tazewell County's Juneteenth celebration on Saturday.
