Excerpt: Anne Ross Davidson, DA (b. 3 February 1937, Glasgow, Scotland - d. 20 December 2008, Aberdeen, Scotland) was a noted Scottish sculptor and artist.

The sculpture depicts a black woman standing with a young child in front of the suggestion of a shantytown. It was unveiled on 22 July 1986 by a then-exiled member of the African National Congress, Suganya Chetty, who was then living in Edinburgh.
