\u00cen noiembrie 1864, Maryland State House a fost martorul unui moment crucial, c\u00e2nd legiuitorii au ratificat o nou\u0103 constitu\u021bie prin care se abolea sclavia. Dup\u0103 peste 150 de ani, capitoliul statului a dezvelit statui din bronz ale a doi aboli\u021bioni\u0219ti renumi\u021bi: Harriet Tubman \u0219i Frederick Douglass.<\/p>\n\n
N\u0103scut\u0103 \u00een sclavie \u00een Maryland \u00een 1820, Harriet Tubman a sc\u0103pat spre libertate \u00een Philadelphia \u00een 1849. Ne\u00eensp\u0103im\u00e2ntat\u0103 de riscuri, ea a f\u0103cut mai multe c\u0103l\u0103torii \u00eenapoi \u00een Maryland, ajut\u00e2nd aproximativ 70 de sclavi s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la libertate prin Calea ferat\u0103 subteran\u0103.<\/p>\n\n
Frederick Douglass, n\u0103scut \u00een 1818 pe \u021b\u0103rmul estic al Marylandului, a fugit \u00een Nord \u00een 1838. A devenit un orator puternic pentru abolire, a lansat un ziar \u00eempotriva sclaviei \u0219i a scris o autobiografie care a influen\u021bat \u00een mare m\u0103sur\u0103 mi\u0219carea aboli\u021bionist\u0103.<\/p>\n\n
Statuile lui Harriet Tubman \u0219i Frederick Douglass sunt instalate \u00een Camera Vechii Cl\u0103diri a Maryland State House, aceea\u0219i \u00eenc\u0103pere \u00een care sclavia a fost abolit\u0103. Ele \u00eei \u00eenf\u0103\u021bi\u0219eaz\u0103 pe Tubman \u0219i Douglass a\u0219a cum ar fi putut ar\u0103ta \u00een acea zi memorabil\u0103.<\/p>\n\n
Statuile servesc drept o reamintire c\u0103 lupta pentru dreptate \u0219i egalitate este continu\u0103. Ele contest\u0103 \u201earoma pro-sudic\u0103\u201d a Casei de Stat \u0219i prezen\u021ba \u00eenc\u0103 persistent\u0103 a unor markeri controversa\u021bi care onoreaz\u0103 solda\u021bii confedera\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n
\u00cen 2017, statuia lui Roger B. Taney, care a scris infamul verdict \u00een procesul Dred Scott prin care se refuza cet\u0103\u021benia afro-americanilor, a fost \u00eendep\u0103rtat\u0103 din perimetrul Casei de Stat. Cu toate acestea, al\u021bi markeri controversa\u021bi r\u0103m\u00e2n, inclusiv o plac\u0103 comemorativ\u0103 at\u00e2t pentru solda\u021bii Uniunii, c\u00e2t \u0219i pentru cei ai Confedera\u021biei \u00een R\u0103zboiul Civil.<\/p>\n\n
Statuile lui Harriet Tubman \u0219i Frederick Douglass nu sunt doar artefacte istorice. Ele reprezint\u0103 lupta continu\u0103 \u00eempotriva opresiunii \u0219i puterea indivizilor de a face o diferen\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n
Noile statui de la Maryland State House servesc drept o form\u0103 puternic\u0103 de art\u0103 public\u0103. Ele educ\u0103 publicul cu privire la istoria aboli\u021bionismului, inspir\u0103 activismul \u0219i promoveaz\u0103 dreptatea social\u0103 \u0219i egalitatea.<\/p>\n\n
Ivan Schwartz, sculptorul care a creat statuile, consider\u0103 c\u0103 \u201e\u00eencepe s\u0103 deschid\u0103 o camer\u0103 cu o perspectiv\u0103 diferit\u0103\u201d. Statuile contest\u0103 nara\u021biunile tradi\u021bionale ale istoriei Marylandului \u0219i \u00eencurajeaz\u0103 o \u00een\u021belegere mai incluziv\u0103 \u0219i mai exact\u0103 a trecutului.<\/p>\n\n
Dezvelirea statuilor lui Harriet Tubman \u0219i Frederick Douglass marcheaz\u0103 un punct de cotitur\u0103 pentru Maryland State House. Este un pas c\u0103tre recunoa\u0219terea contribu\u021biilor aboli\u021bioni\u0219tilor \u0219i promovarea unei societ\u0103\u021bi mai drepte \u0219i mai echitabile.<\/p>\n\n
Statuile servesc drept o reamintire c\u0103 lupta pentru libertate \u0219i egalitate nu este niciodat\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat \u00eencheiat\u0103.
