A memorial for the 2nd Regiment Infantry, U.S. Colored Troops and Companies D and I which served at the Battle of Fort Myers. Feb. 20, 1865. In Centennial Park, a soldier stands casually at ease with his weapon and a slight smile at the top of a three-step platform. Behind him is a two-section wall with tablets embedded in both sides. The gap between the walls signifies a gate, and the soldier’s position before the gate represents the gateway to freedom from slavery.
