Mammy memorial
Although never given an official name, a "Mammy memorial" was a proposed memorial to be located in the District of Columbia that would have honored mammys in the United States. Proposed by Congressman Charles Manly Stedman from North Carolina in 1923, and immediately condemned by African Americans and other groups such as the Women's Relief Corps of the Grand Army of the Republic and the New York World newspaper, the monument would have been located along Massachusetts Avenue.
