This stirring bronze sculpture stands as one of Ed’s most important and widely celebrated works—a powerful reflection on the long and painful journey from slavery to civil rights. The hands tell the story: one, weathered and strong, holds a cotton branch; the other, dignified and determined, casts a ballot. It’s a visual narrative of struggle, resilience, and triumph, reminding us that the right to vote was hard-earned through generations of sacrifice. Created to inspire civic action and honor the legacy of Black Americans in shaping democracy, this piece is as relevant today as ever.
A best-selling and essential work—ideal for collectors who seek meaning, purpose, and the powerful call of social change in their art.
