<em>Reconciliation Memorial </em>(Liverpool, England)
Description
An account of the resource
The iron torsos of two abstracted figures, engaged in a tight embrace, emerge from a rectangular iron base. Two other identical sculptures were erected in 1989 in Belfast, Northern Ireland and Glasgow, Scotland. According to the artist, the works were meant to be “powerful symbol[s] of the way in which sectarianism can be overcome through solidarity.”

The monumental bronze statue depicts a semi-nude figure, dressed only in shorts. He raises his arms in a triumphant gesture, which accentuates the broken chains around his wrists. The identity of the figure is thought to be the leader of the April 1816 slave revolt, General Bussa. Although ultimately unsuccessful, it was the largest revolt in Barbadian history, General Bussa commanded nearly 400 freedom fighters.

Description
An account of the resource
A concrete four-pointed star serves as the sculpture’s plinth. Three brick and concrete walls form a niche, which viewers are invited to physically occupy. Affixed to the brick walls, the niche contains bronze plaques explaining the history of Jerry Henry’s rescue and the symbolism of the sculpture. Emerging from the central brick wall, on the side that faces outward, away from the architectural niche, are three life-size bronze figures. Rendered in high relief, the artist, BuMann, depicts an imagined scene of Jerry’s rescue. A shirtless Henry, with broken shackles on his wrists, is helped to safety with the assistance of<a href="https://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/biographies/samuel-joseph-may/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Rev. Samuel J. May</a> and the <a href="https://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/loguen/summary.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rev. Jermain W. Loguen</a> (who was himself a formerly enslaved person), men who were not actually present during Jerry’s escape.

Standing to the right of a lectern, Frederick Douglass is depicted as in elder statesman, with a furrowed brow and deep lines marking his face. Captured mid-speech, Douglass raises his right hand above his head in a rhetorical gesture, while his left-hand rests atop the lectern. The life-sized bronze figure rests on a base of stone. The work is located in front of the Maryland Circuit Court Judge’s Office in Easton, MD. Just to the right and in the same plaza is a monument to Confederate soldiers.
