==Description==

This [[Cor-Ten steel]] sculpture stands like a sign in the middle of the intersection. It rises upwards and opens into a large face with heavy African influences. The greenish glass frames the face. The artist describes it as a "[[Janus|Janus-face]]".<ref name="Uzikee">{{cite web | author=Allen Uzikee Nelson | title=Paul Robeson, Here I Stand | work=the art/sculpture of UZIKEE | publisher=Allen Uzikee Nelson | url=http://www.uzikee.com/Robeson.htm | access-date= 18 December 2010}}</ref>

His work has been on display at [[Howard University]], [[Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library]], and throughout the United States.<ref name="Uzikee"/>
