Join Old Town Cape as they present to the City of Cape Girardeau a statue erected in Ivers Square honoring African Americans who enlisted in the U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War. The square, formerly known as Courthouse Park was renamed for Harriet and James Ivers in 2017. The square was the place James Ivers and other slaves enlisted in the Union Army. The statue project was made possible through the generous support of The Bank of Missouri, a private foundation, wit...h additional support from First Presbyterian Church, the Hutson Family, Isle Casino Cape Girardeau, and other private donors as well as a grant from the Missouri Humanities Council. The statue was designed by renowned sculptor Roy W. Butler and was completed Feb. 12 by foundry artisans in Utah. It is the final casting from a mold that had been used to create two other statues located in the Nashville National Cemetery and Freedom Park in Helena, Ark. The day's activities will include a cameo by Marlene Rivero as Harriet Ivers. Rivero of Grand Chain, Ill. is a performance artist who portrays African American women in history. Marvin-Alonzo Greer of the Missouri History Center and the Soldiers Memorial Military Museum at St. Louis will portray Rev. Spotswood Rice. Rice, a former USCT soldier, pastored Cape's St. James AME Church in 1870. There will be tributes by the Marine Corps Color Guard and the Turner Brigade, a group of local Civil War reenactors as well as several musical performances.

God's love can break through any darkness.
