Title A name given to the resource Nkyinkyim (Montgomery, Alabama) Subject The topic of the resource Subject (Topic) Alabama--Montgomery Enslaved persons Equal Justice Initiative Slavery--Alabama Transatlantic slave trade Subject (Object) Commemorative sculpture Description An account of the resource Located on the grounds of The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, Nkyinkyim is a sculptural grouping that is dedicated to the memory of the enslaved Africans who were victims of the transatlantic slave trade. This work depicts a coffle of seven seminude enslaved African men and women, bound by rusted shackles around their wrists, ankles, and necks. A man and a woman kneel on the ground, their shackled arms outstretched behind their backs, as they lean forward and away from the center of the monument. Between them, a standing Black male figure leans forward, pulled by two chains binding his neck shackle to those of others. Another woman, holding a screaming baby, reaches for the arm of a male figure standing before her with a look of desperation, while he stares straight ahead, his feet firmly planted. A pair of open shackles lie at the woman’s feet. The seventh figure depicts a pregnant enslaved woman squatting low to the ground, her shackled hands outstretched behind her.

Granite memorial block: In memory of the unknown individuals interred in this area during the 19th century, on land that was part of the Old Athens Cemetery. In 2015 remains were discovered during the construction of the Baldwin Hall addition. The vast Majority of the remains identified were those of men, women, and children of African descent, most likely slaves or former slaves. Upon guidance of the State of Georgia, they were reinterred at the Oconee Hill Cemetery. The University recognizes the contributions of these and other enslaved individuals and honors their legacy. May they continue to rest in peace. columns fountain granite inscription https://mail.slaverymonuments.org/files/original/a6d1b37b85f295f73c7191ff87a5663a.jpg d8d13ae108623980b97ce80877a24d79 https://mail.slaverymonuments.org/files/original/e5fef0a98420a8903c63607521f74a79.jpg ded2c2c10d5174c73c1181bb7c668eee Still Image A static visual representation.

Drake If I close my eyes, I can see them. And if I quiet myself, I can hear them. Their voices carry on the wind like the tune from chimes floating in the distant breeze. Who are you? Where did you come from? When you dreamed, what did you dream of? What is your story? What was your name before they gave you that name? Was the name passed down through our family? Am I your descendant? I stare at my face and wonder if I look like you. I try to put faces to shadows. Can I find pieces of your memory in cotton fields and red mud? Scattered bones in unmarked graves that attempt to erase you from history But you were here. You were always here. You existed. Unknown no longer.
