USCT Sculpture at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC

From Feb. 23, WECT, Wilmington NC  

A new exhibit at the Cameron Art Museum  honors  the United States Colored Troops.

The Battle of Forks Road led to the fall of Wilmington in February 1865.  The battle was fought on the grounds of the museum. and honors 1,600 black troops who fought there.

The sculpture is called "Boundless" and features  11 black men connected with the battle and was created by sculptor Stephen Hayes.

He found descendants of the troops to create the sculpture.

You can never have too many statues and markers about history in my humble opinion.
