Lift Every Voice And Sing

Harp

by Augusta Savage

 

This temporary sculpture was commissioned for the 1939 New York World's Fair and destroyed when the fair closed.  Augusta was paid $360 and spent 2 years on it.  Unable to afford bronze casting, she made the original in lacquered plaster to resemble black basalt. An estimated 44 million people attended this fair in 1939.
