The Slave Phillip Reed Gets a Plague to Honor His Work

HYATTSVILLE, MD- APRIL 16: The plaque to honor Phillip Reed was unveiled today during a short ceremony in Hyattsville, MD.

Reed poured the bronze that became the Statue of Freedom that sits atop the U.S. Capitol. Carroll spear-headed the effort to place a plaque to honor Reed at the National Harmony Memorial Park in Hyattsville where the mass grave was located. (Photo by Michael S.
