This is a timely, visual, exploration of the fascinating life and lasting legacy of sculptor Augusta Savage (1892-1962), who overcame poverty, racism, and sexual discrimination to become one of America's most influential twentieth-century artists. Her story is one of community-building, activism, and art education. Born just outside Jacksonville, Florida, Savage left the South to pursue new opportunities and opened a studio in Harlem, New York City, offering free art classes. She co-founded the Harlem Artists' Guild in 1935 and became the first director of the federally-supported Harlem Community Art Center. Through her leadership there, Savage played an instrumental role in the development of many artists: William Artis, Gwendolyn Knight, Gwendolyn Bennett, Norman Lewis, Jacob Lawrence, Robert Blackburn, Romare Bearden, among many others. This ground-breaking volume features fifty works by Savage, and those she mentored or influenced, as well as correspondence and period photographs.… (meer)

Augusta Savage was born in 1892 in Green Cove Springs, Florida, not far from the city of Jacksonville. (Foreword by Holly Keris)
In 1988, during my tenure as director of Harlem's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the center presented a major exhibition on the life and work of Harlem Renaissance sculptor and cultural arts activist Augusta Savage. (Introduction by Howard Dodson)
Being Black, being a woman, and being an artist are challenges in a society that does not deem these identities valuable in shaping the past, present, and future. ("Labor, Love, Legacy: Augusta Savage's Art," by Jeffreen M. Hayes)
When Augusta Savage opened her art gallery, the Salon of Contemporary Negro Art, on June 8, 1939, she was proudly marching into uncharted territory. ("August Savage: A Gallery of Their Own," by Bridget R. Cooks)
On June 17, 2015, Bree Newsome, an American filmmaker, musician, speaker, and activist, climbed a thirty-foot flagpole on the grounds of the South Carolina State House to remove the Confederate flag.

As a child, she was so inspired to create art that she used the area's rich clay deposits to sculpt animal figurines. When her father, a minister, discovered her work, he beat her severely for what he thought were graven images. (Foreword by Holly Keris)
Black women have been doubly victimized. Belonging as they do to two groups who have traditionally been treated as inferiors by American society -- Blacks and women -- they have been doubly invisible.

Quote from Gerda Lerner, ed. Black Women in White America: a Documentary History (New York: Vintage Books, 1973), xvii
I was a leap year baby, and it seems to me that I have been leaping ever since.

-- Augusta Savage
She was a woman, a black, and it wasn't easy for her, you know, and it wasn't easy for women in general.

-- Jacob Lawrence
