Thomas W. Talbot Monument, Bronze memorial monument in Grant Park, Atlanta, United States
The Thomas W. Talbot Monument is a bronze bust set on a Tennessee marble base with the International Association of Machinists logo displayed prominently. It stands in Grant Park near the Zoo Atlanta entrance and serves as a tribute to labor union history.
The monument was dedicated in 1948 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the International Association of Machinists founding. A commemorative plaque was added in 2013 to mark 125 years since Talbot established the machinists union in Atlanta.
The monument honors the labor movement and pays tribute to Thomas Talbot's role in establishing the machinists union in the city. The inscriptions recognize workers who fought for better working conditions and fair treatment.
The monument is located in Grant Park and can be found near the Zoo Atlanta entrance. The site is easily accessible and provides an open space to stop and read the inscriptions and details.
The bronze bust was crafted with the union emblem integrated into the design, reflecting the pride and identity of the machinists. This intentional choice ensured that the symbol of labor solidarity was central to the memorial itself.
