The most recent memorial in Four Freedoms Park is perhaps the most evocative of the community. Dedicated on May 20, 1996 (an anniversary of Florida's endorsement of President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation), it carries this inscription: "This monument is dedicated to the former slaves of Madison County, their supporters and the unsung heroes who gave their prayers, blood, sweat and tears to help make our community what it is today."
