CHALLENGING MISREPRESENTATION
The frieze below was produced 60 years after Frederick Douglass' first visit to Leeds in 1846, long after slavery had been abolished. This 1905 loin cloth-'Negro' is misrepresentative of the time, yet remains the only full-body representation of an African in the city of Leeds today. Perhaps one day we can collectively create an alternative representation for the city's aspirations.
