Description	Photograph of Gladys Owens Spikes, left, discussing a statute of her great-grandmother, Biddy Mason, with Beulah Woodard, right, and Harriet Fritzhand, second from right. Mason was born in Georgia in 1818, where her parents were slaves. She escaped slavery by moving to Missouri, at the time a "free" state.
