A sculpture competition for the park was launched and the winning entry was Laura Facey’s Redemption Song, which is named after Bob Marley’s Redemption Song and inspired by the line “none but ourselves can free our minds.” Redemption Song, which was unveiled on the eve of Emancipation Day, on 31 July 2003, consists of two nude bronze figures, male and female, who stand in a round pool of water, which is part of the monument’s fountain base, and who gaze up to the sky. Laura Facey outlined her intent in the programme brochure for the unveiling: “My piece is not about ropes, chains or torture; I have gone beyond that. I wanted to create a sculpture that communicates transcendence, reverence, strength and unity through our pro-creators—man and woman—all of which comes when the mind is free.”
