Court and city officials rededicated the remains of a 1904 monument honoring Rebecca Salome Foster, “The Tombs Angel,” who devoted her life to serving neglected inmates of the Tombs Prison during a ceremony on Tuesday, June 25 in the rotunda at the New York State Supreme Court Building at 60 Centre Street.
