Meet the Artists: Conversations with Deborah Copenhaver Fellows and Artis Lane
<p>Throughout this series, we’ve explored the lives of women as artists and trailblazers from an outside perspective, so for this last episode we are bringing you an inside look, hearing from two women who made the most recent contributions: Deborah Copenhaver Fellows, sculptor of the Barry Goldwater Statue added to the National Statuary Hall Collection in 2015, and Artis Lane, sculptor of the Sojourner Truth Bust unveiled in the Capitol Visitor Center in 2009. Similar to the women in the past, both artists share insights into finding inspiration, learning their craft, and overcoming obstacles they faced because of their gender and, in Artis Lane’s case, her race.</p> <p>We are honored to include their stories, told in their own words.</p>

Reflections on Rosa Parks
<p>When Rosa Parks died in 2005, she lay in honor in the Rotunda of the Capitol, the first woman and only the second person of color to receive that honor. When Congress commissioned a statue of her, it became the first full-length statue of an African-American person in the U.S. Capitol. It was unveiled on what would have been her 100th birthday. In this episode, listen as some of our staff at the Capitol Visitor Center talk about their personal memories of those events and the stories that they like to tell about Rosa Parks to visitors on tour. Also included in this episode are a selection of audio clips from the February 27, 2013 Rosa Parks Statue Unveiling, courtesy of the House Recording Studio. </p> <p>Featured guest speakers: Adriane Norman, Douglas Ike, and Ronn Jackson, Visitor Guides, U.S. Capitol Visitor Center</p> <p><br></p>
