For this assignment, I chose the African- American monument in that is located in Rousakis
Riverfront Plaza, in Savannah, GA. The statue is in the continuous public view of shops,
restaurants, and passersby on River St. I first saw this statue in September of 2013 when my
family had first moved to Savannah, Georgia. The scenery was different from the hustle and
bustle of Houston, TX. When visiting downtown Savannah, you are given an old-time, historic
feel to it that is enhanced with the cobblestone roads, historic buildings, and its statues that are
still intact. This statue was built-in 2002 by Professor Dorothy Spradley, this sculpture of an
African-American family surrounded by broken chains and an inscription by Maya Angelou. The
inscription reads "We were stolen, sold, and brought together from the African continent. We got
on the slave ships together, we lay back to belly in the holds of the slave ships in each other's
excrements and urine together sometimes died together and our lifeless bodies thrown overboard
together today we are standing up together with faith and even some joy."(Maya Angelou)
The African-American Monument was designed by Savannah artist Dorothy Spradley. Standing
nearly 11ft tall, with a granite base, it depicts, in bronze, a family of four African-Americans in
modern dress, standing together with broken chains around their feet.
The figures are positioned to face toward Africa. They face also towards the Savannah River and
the Atlantic Ocean, upon which they were shipped as chattel to their new fates and what would
become their new country.
