Abstract
Abstract This portrait of Mary Ann Shadd (1823–1893) is a photographic image of a bronze bust commemorating her life. The bust was created by Artis Lane, an artist and descendant of the Shadd family, and can be found in the BME (British Methodist Episcopal) Freedom Park of Chatham, Ontario, where generations of the Shadd family have lived. Mary Ann Shadd was a Black abolitionist who moved between the United States and British colonies to the north during the nineteenth century, including Chatham. The transatlantic slave trade was abolished during her lifetime. Before and after abolition, she and other African diasporic peoples crossed borders erected by states and empires in search of a homeland, safe from the oppression they faced. Shadd believed Chatham was one such homeland, although her community would not escape racial oppression there. The author of the chapter portraying Shadd’s life took this photograph during a pilgrimage to Chatham—as the author is herself an African descendant whose ancestors were enslaved in the British Caribbean, and she is inspired by Mary Ann Shadd’s contributions to a long-lasting, transnational Black radical tradition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
