Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Eddie Dixon’s pieces are true to the spirit of Juneteenth, as news of freedom quickly spread amongst the freedmen and the enslaved. Mr. Dixon’s pieces join his first sculpture for the Carver, “Go Forth,” which is seated on the front plaza of the campus. Dixon literally exploded on the art world with his first commission—a sculpture of the only Black Fighter Pilot during World Wat I, Eugene Bullard, for the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Today, Mr. Dixon’s art can be found in national historical sites, the Pentagon, West Point, US Department of Interiors, US State Department, the Smithsonian National History Museums, and in many museums, war memorials, and national parks throughout the United States and in more than fifty countries abroad.

This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 05000241.
