Last year I visited several places that honored the difficulties faced by slaves in St. Mary's County., MD. I think these images commemorate the emancipation of slaves (or the hardship of slaves), when slaves were declared free in 1865. It is a certainly past time for African Americans to be treated with the respect they deserve.
