As I look at this statue, I can only imagine what is fiction, and what is non-fiction. Shouldn’t be there, just like the statue of Christopher Columbus. Sure protected that statue. Destroyed it. Double standard. Surprise NOT.
Love that the memorial is constructed such that young or old can sit and relax amongst the statues vs. just staring at/taking pictures of it. There is something powerful about sitting, pausing and reflecting on the lives that were forced to disembark on those shores ...just a few feet away from the memorial.
Hard to find. Google maps did not make it easy to find
This guy plagiarized Roots from an author named Harold Courlander and his book The African, gotten taken to court in 1977 and loss. They gave him a statue and Pulitzer for a story he stole/made up. Lionizing an author for a piece of work that was plagiarized is an insult to real scholars/scholarship, truth, and history.
Nice sculptures in a beautiful location by the town docks.
Nice
Beautiful
