Lincoln Meets Stowe
Bruno Lucchesi, 2006
"In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve."
This sculpture commemorates the 1862 meeting of Abraham Lincoln and Hartford resident Harriet Beecher Stowe in Washington, D.C. Stowe's novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, was widely credited for increasing opposition to slavery and she had written the president urging him to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. Upon meeting this tiny powerhouse, Lincoln purportedly quipped, "So you're the little lady who started this big war."
