Jerry Rescue Monument (Syracuse, New York) Ater, Renée 1965- Creator BuMann, Sharon 1953- sculptor images photographs A concrete four-pointed star serves as the sculpture’s plinth. Three brick and concrete walls form a niche, which viewers are invited to physically occupy. Affixed to the brick walls, the niche contains bronze plaques explaining the history of William "Jerry" Henry’s rescue and the symbolism of the sculpture. Emerging from the central brick wall, on the side that faces outward, away from the architectural niche, are three life-size bronze figures. Rendered in high relief, the artist, BuMann, depicts an imagined scene of Henry’s rescue. A shirtless Henry, with broken shackles on his wrists, is helped to safety with the assistance of Rev. Samuel J. May and the Rev. Jermain W. Loguen (who was himself a formerly enslaved person), men who were not actually present during the escape. A concrete four-pointed star serves as the Jerry Rescue memorial plinth depicting an imagined scene of William "Jerry" Henry's rescue.
