Passion and emotion was expressed on Afternoons with Amos as officials of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail explained their project and the proposed sculpture of a freed slave that would be part of the multi-million dollar project. Appearing were Brian Payne, Executive Director of the Central Indiana Community Foundation which oversees the Trail; Mindy Taylor Ross, Curator of Public Art for the project and local artist Jason Wright.

New York-based, African-American artist Fred Wilson is designing a sculpture for the Cultural Trail, titled E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One).  Wilson’s vision is to create a 3D image of the freed slave currently shown kneeling in a sculpture on the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. Wilson’s sculpture would depict the freed slave in an “upright, empowered position as a 21st Century person of color, holding a flag representing the African Diaspora”.
