History, Heritage, and Honor

About the Art
Monumental Stories is a dedication to the History, Heritage, and Honor of the African American community of Gettysburg, PA, and the United States Colored Troops (USCT).

The art is designed to communicate an everlasting historical account of the everyday lives of Black Americans from their experiences and point of view.

The art features artistic reproductions of photographic images, from as early as 1830, that were provided by the residents.

The art columns were chronologically divided using images which represent the past, present, and the future. The third column representing the future incorporates the ideas, thoughts, and aspirations of Black American youth from the neighborhood with the History, Heritage, and Honor.
