Her talent and courage culminated in her World’s Fair masterpiece, “The Harp”.

Her monument extended to teaching the future African American Artists like Jacob Lawrence.

Topics Include: The 1939 World’s Fair, Rose Gold Mussolini “robot,” The Great Migration, Jim Crow Laws, The Harlem Renaissance, phallic monuments, carrot and potato hats, a brief cameo by Basel Ricketbottom III; mudpies, the racist vapors, and the introduction of the Art Slice Museum’s new sculpture wing.
The song featured in this episode was "Your eyes said we were never coming back" by Kris Keogh. Consider supporting his work!
