All Wars Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors
All Wars Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors, War memorial in Logan Square, Philadelphia, United States
The monument features bronze sculptures depicting Justice holding laurel wreaths, accompanied by soldiers and sailors in World War I uniforms at the front.
Pennsylvania commissioned this memorial in 1927 for fifty thousand dollars to honor African American servicemen who served in conflicts from the Revolutionary War.
The memorial includes four female figures on the reverse side representing War, Liberty, Peace, and Plenty, along with the Seal of Pennsylvania.
The monument stands at the intersection of Benjamin Franklin Parkway and 20th Street, measuring 21.5 feet tall with a granite base.
Samuel Beecher Hart, an African American state legislator, introduced the bill in 1925 after previous unsuccessful attempts to establish this recognition.
