Is there any way to know who the "Twelve sculptors participated in a design competition" were? We need (opinion) to not just celebrate winners. Carptrash (talk) 17:26, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Lieberman doesn't mention any of them. She also doesn't mention whether the design competition was by invitation or open to everyone. Being a state project, I'm sure a commission report would have been written that might have the details. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 17:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
I'm wrong: "[T]he bulk of the documents produced by the Colored Soldiers Statue Commission remain unlocated. The papers of the Commonwealth commissions are usually filed among the papers of the governor who had appointed such groups; in the case of The All Wars Memorial, however, the papers of Governor Fisher include no such relevant documents." — Liberman, p. 48, n. 11.
We may never know the other sculptors. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 18:28, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
