The black angel is photographed at Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City on Monday, September 7, 2015. The black angel is an eight and a half foot tall burial monument built for the Feldevert family in 1912. Since then, it has been the source of many legends in Iowa City; most of which are connected to the mysterious change in color that the angel took, turning from a golden bronze to black.
