Henrietta Wood had been kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1853. After the Civil War, she sued her kidnapper for $20k to cover lost wages. 

On April 17, 1878, a jury awarded Wood $2,500. This is still the largest amount awarded by a U.S. Court as reparations for slavery.

Image description: The front wheel of a slightly rusty bicycle, in front of an aged, painted-white fence. The shadow of a curly wrought-iron gate lands on the fence as well. The whole thing has a shabby-chic, hipster kind of vibe.
