南卡罗来纳州立大厦将建一座纪念碑 纪念内战英雄罗伯特·斯摩尔斯 这是第一个纪念非洲裔美国人的纪念碑 South Carolina will erect a monument on State House grounds to honor Civil War hero Robert Smalls, the first monument dedicated to an individual African American. 斯莫尔斯出生于奴隶制,成为南卡罗来纳州历史上一个关键人物,因为他逃脱了奴隶制,在联邦军队服役,后来在南卡罗来纳州众议院,参议院和美国众议院担任职务. Smalls, born into slavery, became a key figure in South Carolina's history by escaping slavery, serving in the Union Army, and later holding positions in the South Carolina House of Representatives, Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives. 该纪念碑完全由捐款资助,定于2028年完工,目的是庆祝Smalls争取自由的斗争及其对国家历史的贡献。 The monument, funded entirely by donations, is set to be completed by 2028 and aims to celebrate Smalls' fight for freedom and his contributions to the state's history.
