V listopadu 1864 byl Marylandsk\u00fd st\u00e1tn\u00ed d\u016fm sv\u011bdkem z\u00e1sadn\u00edho okam\u017eiku, kdy z\u00e1konod\u00e1rci ratifikovali novou \u00fastavu, kter\u00e1 zru\u0161ila otroctv\u00ed. O v\u00edce ne\u017e 150 let pozd\u011bji odhalilo st\u00e1tn\u00ed hlavn\u00ed m\u011bsto bronzov\u00e9 sochy dvou v\u00fdznamn\u00fdch abolicionist\u016f: Harriet Tubman a Fredericka Douglasse.<\/p>\n\n
Harriet Tubman se narodila do otroctv\u00ed v Marylandu v roce 1820 a v roce 1849 uprchla do svobody ve Filadelfii. Nedala se odradit riziky a podnikla n\u011bkolik cest zp\u011bt do Marylandu, kde vedla kolem 70 zotro\u010den\u00fdch lid\u00ed ke svobod\u011b prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm podzemn\u00ed dr\u00e1hy.<\/p>\n\n
Frederick Douglass, narozen\u00fd v roce 1818 na v\u00fdchodn\u00edm pob\u0159e\u017e\u00ed Marylandu, uprchl na sever v roce 1838. Stal se vlivn\u00fdm \u0159e\u010dn\u00edkem za zru\u0161en\u00ed otroctv\u00ed, zalo\u017eil abolicionistick\u00e9 noviny a napsal autobiografii, kter\u00e1 v\u00fdrazn\u011b ovlivnila abolicionistick\u00e9 hnut\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Socha Harriet Tubman a Fredericka Douglasse jsou instalov\u00e1ny v komo\u0159e star\u00e9ho domu Marylandsk\u00e9ho st\u00e1tn\u00edho domu, ve stejn\u00e9 m\u00edstnosti, kde bylo zru\u0161eno otroctv\u00ed. Zobrazuj\u00ed Tubman a Douglasse tak, jak mohli vypadat v tento slavnostn\u00ed den.<\/p>\n\n
Socha slou\u017e\u00ed jako p\u0159ipom\u00ednka, \u017ee boj za spravedlnost a rovnost pokra\u010duje.

V roce 2017 byla ze St\u00e1tn\u00edho domu odstran\u011bna socha Rogera B. Taneyho, kter\u00fd napsal nechvaln\u011b zn\u00e1m\u00fd rozsudek Dreda Scotta, kter\u00fd afroameri\u010dan\u016fm up\u00edral ob\u010danstv\u00ed.

Socha Harriet Tubman a Fredericka Douglasse nejsou jen historick\u00fdmi artefakty. P\u0159edstavuj\u00ed trvaj\u00edc\u00ed boj proti \u00fatlaku a s\u00edlu jednotlivc\u016f zm\u011bnit sv\u011bt.<\/p>\n\n
Nov\u00e9 sochy v Marylandsk\u00e9m st\u00e1tn\u00edm dom\u011b slou\u017e\u00ed jako mocn\u00e1 forma ve\u0159ejn\u00e9ho um\u011bn\u00ed.

Odhalen\u00ed soch Harriet Tubman a Fredericka Douglasse p\u0159edstavuje bod obratu pro Marylandsk\u00fd st\u00e1tn\u00ed d\u016fm.
