Simon of Cyrene Statue at Oakwood College

The Colom Foundation helped Oakwood College, located in Huntsville, Ala., erect its first statue in 105 years. The statue is a representation of Simon of Cyrene helping Christ carry His cross, and was completed in 2005.

Oakwood, a historically black Seventh Day Adventist college, placed the statue on its campus as a symbol of the values and service for which the school stands.
