Talk:List of monuments to African Americans

A little explanation

This has been sitting in my sandbox for over a year. Honestly, I had forgotten about it. But working on the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers, and on Isabella and William Gibbons, that I will be putting up today, I hope, I thought it would do more good to put it up now in its present imperfect state than letting it grow more mold in my sandbox. deisenbe (talk) 07:49, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

My notes on work needed to this list

This is why I hadn't posted this list until now. These are my own, UNEDITED notes on more work needed on this List. Since I haven't done any of it (yet) I thought it would be helpful to post them.

None to Andre Cailloux

And an eight-foot-tall sculpture stands, until ­mid-December, in front of the historical home of early Princeton presidents. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/while-others-tear-down-monuments-some-universities-are-building-new-ones/2017/12/24/b4c5388e-d37f-11e7-b62d-d9345ced896d_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-card-national%3Ahomepage%2Fcard&utm_term=.48f36650fe9f

The sculpture, by Titus Kaphar and commissioned by the Princeton University Art Museum, layers portraits of the school president from 1761 to 1766 with those of a black man, woman and child. They represent the slaves who worked at the president’s home and those who were sold at auction on that site. deisenbe (talk) 07:55, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
