It's roughly 6 feet in height with skinny figures standing upright in the colors of black, brown, white, yellow and red. "We all had our hands on it," said student Ivan Tatum."It was multi-different colored people and we all helped, yes.” "This sculpture shows unity. It’s a family," Bradbury said."The ethnicity, the cultures. It’s not you against me, your culture versus my culture, everyone is together."
