Title A name given to the resource Corinth Contraband Camp (Corinth, MS) Subject The topic of the resource Subject (Topic) American South Civil War Corinth (Miss.) Fugitive slaves--United States Mississippi--History Public art Public sculpture Refugee camps--Southern States--History--19th century Slaves--Emancipation--United States Subject (Object Type) Commemorative sculpture Description An account of the resource Eight life-size bronze statues (in six groupings) commemorate the formerly enslaved persons who escaped from the South and sought safety and freedom behind Union lines at the Corinth Contraband Camp in Corinth, Mississippi. Established by Union General Grenville M. Dodge in 1862 to shelter freedom-seekers, the Corinth Contraband Camp featured a church, a school, a hospital, and numerous homes as well as productive and profitable farms that were operated by freedmen and women. The bronze statues include: a woman with her hands on her hips, “the greeter”; a laundress ironing clothes; a farmer tending to his crops with a hoe; a female teacher with a young female student who read together from an open Bible; a man and boy gathering books; and a member of the United States Colored Troops who pulls Hardee's Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics from his haversack . Included at the site: two bronze plaques with inscriptions attached to a concrete wall near the greeter; two bronze low reliefs on a concrete wall opposite the greeter; and an informational panel explaining farming at the site in front of the farmer. The two bronze low reliefs are based on nineteenth-century photographs: Timothy H. O'Sullivan, <a href="https://www.loc.gov/item/2018666225/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[Rappahannock River, Va.

Title A name given to the resource Emancipation (Boston, MA) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fuller, Meta Warrick, 1877-1968 Subject The topic of the resource Subject (Topic) Allegory (Art) Northeastern United States Public art Public sculpture Slaves--Emancipation--United States Subject (Object Type) Commemorative sculpture Description An account of the resource The multi-figure sculpture is anchored around a truncated tree that reaches over the heads of the three human figures. The tree is roughly realized, and Fuller’s hand is evident in the surface treatment. At the center of the composition, a young woman and man stand upright and are semi-nude. The couple emerge from the “Tree of Knowledge.” Behind the male figure, the female figure of “Humanity,” clothed in a gown, bows her head and rests it on her raised left arm. She gently rests her right hand on the young man’s shoulder.
