Samuel Morris was an African prince who came to Taylor Univeristy in the late 19th century, but died 18 months later due to respiratory illness. It was said about him that whereever he went, the Holy Spirit followed. On the ship from Liberia to NY, despite being treated brutally, he converted most of the crew to Christianity. When arriving at the university, Taylor was so excited for him that they were going to give him any room he wanted - but he said "If there is a room that nobody wants, give that to me." Just a cool back story to go with the image. You can read more about him here: http://www.taylor.edu/about/morris/story.shtml

Thanks for the comments all :). This statue obviously has a lot more meaning to people on campus, lol, but I was shocked at how well it turned out, so I went ahead and uploaded it :).
