Late, Lean, Bronze: Boston's Harriet Tubman Emancipation Statue

In 1913, Boston's Harriet Tubman Park, South End, Massachusetts, saw the sculpting of a bronze statue, aptly named Emancipation. The statue, depicting a slave child gazing at a half-naked woman standing on a plinth, was crafted by Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller. It commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, an act that abolished slavery in the United States. Fast forward 86 years to 1999, when the statue was finally cast in bronze. Quotes from Fuller, musings on emancipation, were etched onto the base in 2013.
