Cameron Art Museum was the site of the Battle of Forks Road, a Civil War skirmish whose victory was won by the United States Coloured Troops (USCT) and led to the fall of Wilmington. Their impact is significant, yet their story is virtually unknown. North Carolina artist Stephen Hayes has fashioned this life-size bronze sculpture from the cast features of 11 African American men connected to the site and its story – USCT descendants, re-enactors, veterans, and community leaders. The sculpture is connected deeply to the community’s history, its present, and its future.
