Water Monument

Folder: 
Women Are Spirit

Next to the monuments to

famous men of action

are often reflecting pools

or lakes:

monuments to their wives..



a place of receiving

not of imposing



the stone in the statue

is inert while the water

continues to empower

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It is not known by
all that upon Thomas Jefferson's death over 200
of his slaves were
sold on the auction
block.. slaves in many cases who
had worked for him
their entire lives

Jefferson fought to
make Missouri a slave
state..

His legacy lives on
as both Missouri
and Virginia are
in the execution column
of states with racist
patterns of imposing
the death penalty
