Dear Anna, Have you seen Charles T. Keck, sculpted piece "Booker T. Washington Removing the Veil of Ignorance and Superstition"? It is a bronze casting at Tuskegee University, it depicts Booker removing a veil from the head of a young Black man with a book in his hand. That is the only piece that immediately comes to mind. Hope that helps!
