This evocative photographic print captures the essence of bravery and determination embodied in Robert Gould Shaw, the commander of the historic 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. The monument, located on Beacon Street in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, immortalizes the pivotal moment on May 28, 1863, when Shaw led his all-black regiment down the bustling city street, marking their first public appearance during the American Civil War.
