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. <br /><br />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>.<br /><br />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 <span class="s2">Copenhagen</span> and placed at the <span class="s2">Women</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Prison,_Christianshavn"><span class="s2">'</span></a><span class="s2"></span><span class="s2">s</span><span class="s2"> Prison, Christianshavn</span>, but in 1887 was sent back to <span class="s2">Christiansted</span>, St. Croix to serve the remainder of her sentence.

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.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Amistad Memorial </em>centers around a large bronze triangular prism adorned with<span> sculptural </span>reliefs, depicting scenes from the life of Sengbe Pieh. In <span>1839 </span>Pieh led a revolt of abducted Africans against their captors on the Spanish slave ship, the Amistad. The Amistad was seized off the coast of Long Island, NY, by the U.S. brig, Washington and the Africans on board were imprisoned on charges of murder. The case went to the US Supreme Court, where Pieh and his fellow Africans were found to have rightfully defended themselves as they were free individuals, having been kidnapped and transported illegally.</p>
<p>The memorial stands on the site of the New Haven jail, where Pieh and the other Amistad Africans were held during their trials. The three sides of the sculpture depict the life of Pieh: the first side shows him as a young man in Africa; the second side depicts his court trials, and the third side shows Pieh after he won his freedom. A fourth side of the sculpture, only visible from the upper floors of City Hall, includes images of disembodied hands emerging from ocean waves, a reminder of the thousands who perished during the Middle Passage. Pieh's famous courtroom statement, "make us free" is inscribed on the work’s granite base. The memorial rests atop a squared platform, which was inserted into a purpose-built recessed space added to City Hall during a 1990 renovation.</p>
