Rev. LeRoy Marshall, the pastor of Second Baptist Church, with vandalized Lucy Higgs Nichols statue.

The statue was installed exactly one year ago in the Underground Railroad Garden behind the Second Baptist Church.

Last week, the site of the Underground Railroad Gardens at Second Baptist Church, was treated anything but sacredly when someone spray-painted the statue of Lucy Higgs Nichols, a freed slave who lived in New Albany and served as a nurse for Union soldiers.
