Description
- Abstract:
- "Aligned with the North Star, which guided freedom-seekers via the Underground Railroad, the southern structure represents the past (pre-1867) and the "Global South." The northern structure signifies the present and future, and Canada as the Northside, where emancipation is being actualized. Each panel vibrantly illustrates different aspects of history and the pursuit of emancipation, offering a rich narrative for exploration."
