To celebrate 50 years of integration and diversity, a human chain of hundreds passed, hand to hand, a bronze disk from this statue of Fred Flowers to a commemorative pyramid on Westcott Plaza. Plaque 2: "Integration". W. Stanley "Sandy" Proctor (USA). Bronze, 2003. This artwork is a celebration of the hardships and successes of a group of young men and women with a vision. That vision was to make Florida State University a center of learning for all people -- a great university with a cultural diversity as part of its mission. This sculpture honors those courageous African-American students who paved the way to integration at Florida State University during the 1960s. The three figures are historically accurate representations of the first African-American graduating scholar from the Class of 1965, the first African-American to wear an FSU athletic uniform and the first African-American homecoming princess. Fred H. Flowers. 1965-1969 (BA); 1973 (MS). First African-American to wear an FSU athletic uniform. [These two plaques are repeated on two further sides of the plinth with the names and achievments changed to reflect the other two subjects depicted - Doby Flowers and Maxwell Courtney].
