At the center
of a granite-paved plaza encircled on three sides by
the Wall of Honor is the Spirit of Freedom sculpture.
Unveiled on July 18, 1998, the sculpture stands ten
feet tall and features uniformed black soldiers and
a sailor poised to leave home. Women, children and elders
on the cusp of the concave inner surface seek strength
together. Designed by Ed Hamilton of Louisville, Kentucky,
this is the first major art piece by a black sculptor
to be placed on federal land anywhere in the District
of Columbia. |
