Heritage Corner challenges imposed misrepresentation with historical facts and intelligent self-representation

Review from North Leeds Life, July 2016

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.
