The community which I am writing about is unique in its respect to "artifacts". There are many supposed artifacts that would indicate what the community is and why and how it relates to it. However, there is not one true 'artifact' that represents the community that I am portraying. The African-American community has many connotative objects, products, historical relics, etc. that help to reveal their past. I am almost positive that the large majority of their community would not appreciate a Plantation, University, bus, basketball court, or the millions of other things that the community has delved into or has been a part of, to represent their community as a whole. This is why something very close to us here Tallahassee is a perfect so-called 'artifact' to represent them. At a roughly centerpoint crossroads on campus here at Florida State University, there is a larger-than-life portrayal of the racial accomplishments that happened here at this school over the past century. There are three large statues standing on a pedastal looing outward representing African-American individuals who were either the first of their community to graduate, the first Homecoming Queen, and the first athlete here this prewstigious university. This is a prime example of an artifact to represent them.
