In 2018, the City of Boston, the Friends of the Public Garden, the Museum of African American History, and the National Park Service formed the Committee to Renew the Shaw/54th Regiment Memorial. In addition to stabilizing the monument and restoring the bronze relief, the project aimed to engage the public in larger discussions of race and justice. Here, the committee and local leaders pose at the unveiling of the newly restored monument in May 2021.
