Installed in front of the African American Civil War Museum on Friday is a statue depicting the 16th president signing the Emancipation Proclamation.

Stanley Watts, the artist behind the statue, said sculpting the 6-feet tall, 600-pound statue was so meaningful.

“It’s in the top three, if not the most significant,” Watts said of the proclamation. “Only because it was the most important thing Abraham did.”


I thought that "the most important thing President Abraham Lincoln did" was to save the institution of democracy for all mankind.
