Title A name given to the resource I Am Queen Mary (Copenhagen, Denmark) Subject The topic of the resource Subject (Topic) Slavery Resistance Middle Passage Transatlantic Slave Trade Slave Trade; Diaspora Copenhagen, Denmark Subject (Name) Thomas, Mary (Queen Mary), ca. 1848–1905 Subject (Object Type) Commemorative sculpture Description An account of the resource An imposing figure of a woman stares straight ahead, seated barefoot on a wide-backed chair. She holds a torch in one hand and a tool used to cut sugar cane in the other. The sculpture was inspired by Mary Thomas, one of the Three Queens of St Croix. Thomas, along with two other women, led an uprising in 1878 called the “Fireburn.” Fifty plantations and most of the town of Frederiksted in St. Croix were burned, in the largest labor revolt in Danish colonial history. Visually, the work reminds viewers of the long and sustained history of the black freedom struggle. According to the artists, the torch and the cane bill are symbols of colonial resistance, while Queen Mary's seated pose mirrors the 1967 photograph of <a href="http://behindthescenes.nyhistory.org/black-panthers-art-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huey P. Newton</a>, founder of <a href="http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/films/the-black-panthers-vanguard-of-the-revolution/">the Black Panther Party</a>. The statue’s plinth incorporates the coral foundations of historic buildings on St. Croix, which were cut from the ocean by enslaved Africans. The work's unveiling coincided with the centennial year commemorating Denmark's sale of the islands of St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas to the United States in 1917. The work sits in front of what was once a warehouse for Caribbean sugar and rum, and just over a mile from where Thomas was jailed after her arrest for her role in the labor uprising. Convicted of arson and looting and sentenced to death, her sentence was commuted to life imprison. In 1882 Thomas was transferred to Copenhagen and placed at the Women<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Prison,_Christianshavn">'</a>s Prison, Christianshavn, but in 1887 was sent back to Christiansted, St. Croix to serve the remainder of her sentence.

According to the museum’s director, David Fleming: “Our vision is to create a major new International Slavery Museum to promote the understanding of transatlantic slavery and its enduring impact. Our aim is to address ignorance and misunderstanding by looking at the deep and permanent impact of slavery and the slave trade on Africa, South America, the USA, the Caribbean, and Western Europe. Thus we will increase our understanding of the world around us."

Title A name given to the resource Captured Africans (Lancaster, England) Subject The topic of the resource Subject (Topic) Middle Passage Transatlantic Slave Trade Slave Trade Lancaster, United Kingdom Subject (Object Type) Commemorative sculpture Description An account of the resource Six rectangular perspex blocks, suspended between a rectangular, stainless steel column and an oblong, stone column, rests on a circular base embellished with a mosaic and small metal sculptures. The work is meant to recall the decks of the transatlantic slave ships that carried enslaved Africans to the Americas. The six perspex blocks are inscribed with the names of the different commodity objects these ships transported to and from the Americas: wealth, cotton, rum, mahogany, sugar, and slaves. The stainless steel column lists many of the slave ships that departed from Lancaster and the number of slaves these vessels forcibly seized in Africa. Underscoring the history of these horrific nautical journeys, the mosaic depicts a map detailing the routes of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, while the metal figures personify the trauma and violence of the Middle Passage.

An over life-sized woman, her arms outstretched as she arches her body backward, recalls the ship’s prow. The stern of the ship is personified by a number of nude figures, staggering forward, tethered to one another by the shackles around their necks and wrists. The rough-hewn metal texture of the sculptural surface abstracts the individual features of each figure. The memorial commemorates the abolition of slavery in the Netherlands in 1863.
