Nearby African American Monument | Additional Description:
Amazing Messages!
of hope
in mean fates
unerased
by
flight of congo;
torture of gravity & whips
tell time’s trek
in
hewed stone
men’s flesh.
children whisper in play in whispers
breathe anger or
Tredegar’s metal dust
Gracious past
calls home
many places
where bravery
of overcoming
and never forgetting
is not moved
by
water’s walk
or
words in stone
as
tomorrow unravels
before us
as dawn or trinkets.
