Artist Elizabeth Catlett wanted this monumental sculpture to reflect the diversity of the people of Atlanta. It features a crowd of busy people passing one another against a cityscape background. Catlett says these people represent “young, old, black, white, Asian, Latin, men, women, children.”
Catlett was a sculptor and painter who was dedicated to improving the lives of African American and Mexican women through both her artwork and political activism.
