Summary: Algernon Miller’s (b. 1945) sketches and models for the Frederick Douglass Memorial Circle plaza depict a sixty-foot-long fountain pricked with stars of the constellations. Lit by fiber optics, the stars glow from beneath a sheet of falling water. The surrounding seating deploys different color granites to evoke quilts with Underground Railroad motifs.
