The planned unity sculpture in Santa Rosa will have more languages on it. Santa Rosa’s Art in Public Places Committee voted unanimously to include 32 languages on the planned unum sculpture in Courthouse Square. This came after a previous vote was nullified due to a procedural error. That was corrected and, with it, 15 more languages were added. Languages will include English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Ilocano/ Samoan/Hawaiian, Vietnamese, Thai, Khmer, Amharic/Somali, French, Swahili, German, Korean, Italian, Persian/ Farsi/ Dari, Cambodian, Tigrinya, Laotian, Hmong, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Hindi, Hungarian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Gujarati, Swedish, Polish, Miwok and Southern Pomo.
