"Expelled Because of Color" is dedicated to the memory of the 33 black state legislators who were elected, yet expelled from the Georgia House because of their color in 1868.
The cinder block forms at the base of the sculpture symbolize the building of black political awareness and self-representation in Georgia. Our enslavement, our role in the Revolutionary War, the Black church, our labor and the right to vote are components of the black Georgian's struggle from the slave ship to the State House.
John Riddle, sculptor
