    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Colby College Lion Monument    (Carmel, Maine)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Weeping Lion statue was originally installed on the second floor of Colby College Memorial Hall, situated on the old campus. The marble statue, and its accompanying plaque, is dedicated to those students and graduates from Colby College who served and died for the Union. The statue is a replica of the Lion of Lucerne, located in Switzerland, which was designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and dedicated to the Swiss Guard who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution. The erection of the college statue in Colby Memorial Hall was overseen and funded by Professor Charles E. Hamlin, and the monument was designed and created by Marin Millmore of Boston. It was dedicated during the commencement of 1871. However, the college campus was moved during the 20th century, and the statue was later moved in 1962 before the destruction of the old campus in 1966. It can now be found in the Miller Library on Mayflower Hill.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located on Flag Staff Hill in the city's Common and reaching over 125 feet in height, Boston's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is one of Massachusetts' most striking Civil War memorials. The monument features a statue embodying "America', flanked by a quartet of marble eagles, atop a 75 foot Roman column; a further four statues, representing the points of the reunited nation, are included at the column's base. Projecting the plinth are another set of allegorical figures, representing Peace, the Sailor, the Muse of History, and the Citizen-Soldier, which had, until 2014, been stored away from public display. The memorial's plinth includes a bas-relief tablet of bronze on each of its four sides, depicting an array of Civil War scenes featuring notable Bay Staters. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument was dedicated on September 17, 1877, over a decade after artist Martin Milmore's submitted design.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Framingham Civil War Memorial   (Framingham Center, Massachusetts)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Depicting a Union soldier at parade rest, this memorial statue was dedicated on February 22, 1873 and originally resided within the Edgell Memorial Library which it now guards. This move was reportedly caused by an inability of the library authorities to enforce the building's dress code: seeing the standing soldier in full uniform, patrons would often refuse to uncover their own hats. The memorial was largely funded by Framingham resident George Phipps, who provided the required $3,000 upon the request of local patriot George G. Brown. Mr Phipps is anecdotally said to have begrudgingly parted with the money, remarking "There's a check for your brazen image." The statue is taken from an original prototype by sculptor Martin Milmore for a monument in Charlestown in 1871. Framingham's version, in bronze, was cast by Ames Foundry in Chicopee.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This unusual memorial is dedicated to estimated 4,000 enslaved people who worked the grounds of the University of Virginia. Constructed from local granite, the memorial takes the form of a broken ring which measures about 80 feet in diameter and includes a smaller ring inside. The broken ring is meant to symbolize the broken shackles of slavery and recognize the role enslaved people played in the foundation of the university and Thomas Jefferson's legacy.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[On the occasion of the Civil War semi-centennial, Sussex County sought a way of honoring their Confederate soldiers and the cause for which they fought. The Sussex Confederate Monument was erected by the Sussex United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1912 to serve this aim and faces south towards the county courthouse built in 1828. Created by McNeel Marble Works, the marble monument consists of a private soldier standing at parade rest surmounting a plinth, base, dado, and shaft. The statue's inscription states: "THE PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT LIVE ETERNALLY" and details a list of companies organized from Sussex County. While there have been no documented efforts to remove or relocate the monument, four marble cannon balls originally at the corners of the base have been removed. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The ‘Mothers of Gynecology’ in Montgomery, Alabama, was dedicated on September 24, 2021 and created by Michelle Browder. This monument depicts Anarcha, Betsey, and Lucy, three real enslaved women who were operated on against their will by the ‘father of gynaecology’ J. Marion Sims. The monument itself consists of three statues, one of each woman; the tallest is Anarcha, who was only 17 when Sims operated on her for complications from a traumatic childbirth. Browder sculpted the statues from discarded metal objects donated by the public – including several surgical and gynaecological instruments – ‘to symbolize how Black women have been treated and to demonstrate the beauty in the broken and discarded.’ The monument itself is full of symbolic meaning: Anarcha's womb is removed from her body, leaving a gaping hole in her abdomen containing a single red rose. Behind her, a metal cage representing her uterus is stuffed full of surgical instruments. Betsey also wears a crown made from a speculum, an instrument which Sims invented through his experiments on these enslaved women.]]></dcterms:description>
