Located on the floor of the Ford Freedom Rotunda,
is Genealogy, a work designed by local artist Hubert Massey. The
creation depicts the struggles of African Americans in this country.
Each figure is symbolic of an experience, from slavery to present
day violence, the hunger for knowledge, the importance of spirituality
and the upward mobility of African Americans. Surrounding this 37-foot
floor are bronze nameplates of prominent African Americans in history.
Each year new names are added to this Ring of Genealogy.
