A low relief that depicts three freedom seekers against the map of Ohio: a father, mother, and young boy. The male figure is show in profile wearing a soft brimmed hat, holding a walking cane, and dressed in simple shirt and pants with worn shoes ( a hole is visible).

With short hair, the young boy wears a button shirt with rolled up pants. Over his shoulder is a small sack.
