Description: Statue: "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Note: Augusta Savage was an African American sculptor, born in Green Cove Springs, Florida in 1892. This statue, a small reproduction of the original, was sculpted in 1939 for the World's Fair. The statue in the form of a "Harp of Humanity" was titled from the anthem by James Weldon Johnson. Unfortunately, it was razed at the end of the Fair, along with all the other temporary structures, since money had not been allocated to cast the statue in bronze. (Source of birthdate: United States Census, 1920, see West Palm Beach, Florida.)
