Over the years, the sculpture of Phillis Wheatley on the Boston Women's Memorial has recieved gifts ranging from lottery tickets and pennies to teddy bears and sweaters. Last week someone left a bouquet of silk flowers in fall colors.
Lucy Stone and Abigail Adams also have tokens left by admireres but it is Lucy who receives the most.
