"The Gathering" by Nigerian-born artist, Adewale Adenle
This is a photograph of a portion of a larger bronze, bas relief sculpture that can be viewed in Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans. It memorializes African slaves, who were allowed to gather at Congo Square in a celebration of life and West African Culture. It symbolizes, to me, the resilience of a people who persevered in the face of unimaginable hardship.
