Detail of a Panel, African American Civil War Memorial, Shaw, Washington, DC, 2006.This powerful monument is somewhat remote from precincts popular with tourists to the Capital city but appropriately placed in a neighborhood named for Robert Gould Shaw, the white colonel of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment formed of black soldiers who fought valiantly for the Union in the war of Southern Aggression. This particular panel depicts slaves emancipated by their actions. -- source link
