A lot of times We're bringing the meaning to places that we go really connecting with the community in this case There was already a really profound story of Sarah Mae Fleming and we're honored that we got to be a Small part in helping tell that story on a community-wide scale We wanted to bring a life to bring a movement to this story Because we think it's still a story that is very much still living So there's a famous case called Fleming versus SCENG that it's filed 17 months Before the famous incident of Rosa Parks and so while many in this country know the piracy work of Rosa Parks very few know of the precedent case of Sarah Mae Fleming. I was Sort of the lead in using a similar process to what one Columbia uses for all of its public art projects And I've learned more about her as a person through this process and I find that really interesting how sort of self-sufficient she was These four pieces of art Tell the amazingly challenging Sometimes painful but beautiful story of the African seed and the American Sun right here in Columbia, South Carolina It allows an opportunity For our young people to be able to engage in African-American history where they live For some they may never go to a museum or they may never go to an art gallery, but they're gonna come to a local gym They're gonna come to a local Recreation facility and at that point we reach them where they are So we're excited about this opportunity to educate We're excited about this opportunity to be able to share history African-American history to those young people that may not get Opportunities to be exposed to this type of information So we're grateful to our mayor we're grateful to our city council We're grateful to our city manager for endorsing and supporting this process
