Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks Statue by Eugene L Daub and Rob Firmin

Eugen L Daub is a contemporary figure sculpture. Rob Firmin is a sculpture and architect. In 2004 Daub and Rob Firmin teamed up and won competition to make Rosa Parks statue in 2009.

"Its another break through for someone who has made so many possible." House Speaker John A Boehner.

I chose this statue because not only is she an important figure in the fight against inequality, but also because this sculpture will be added to the great sculptures of history in 2013. It is great to know that we still have great artists and sculptors like the ones we read about in art history books.
