Statue of Dred and Harriet Scott. They were African American slaves. They both have short, curly hair. He is wearing a suit and she is wearing a dress that goes down past her ankles. They are both looking outward. He has his left arm around her back, and they are holding hands at the front. They are on a pedestal with a description of their story which is too small to read, standing in front of a fence and a buildind. You can only see part of the wall and part of two windows.

Dred & Harriet Scott statue at the Old Courthouse, St. Louis. This is the location where they lost their lawsuit against being enslaved, and which upheld slavery in the U. S. Sculpted by Harry Weber. #BlackHistoryMonth #DredScott #HarrietScott #Statue #HarryWeber #OldCourthouse #SaintLouis #Missouri
