Slavery Memorial Dedicated

In 2014, a sculpture by American artist Martin Puryear was installed on the Front Green acknowledging Brown’s connection to the transatlantic slave trade. On commissioning the sculpture, President Simmons said, “Understanding our history and incorporating the full truth of that history into our shared heritage is challenging, but essential if we hope to live with wisdom and humanity.”
