Johnny Cash Statue to Be Unveiled at U.S. Capitol

The statue will honor the legendary musician as the first professional artist in the National Statuary Hall Collection

The unveiling ceremony is set for September 24 at Emancipation Hall.
Johnny Cash's statue will be Arkansas's second representation in the Capitol, alongside civil rights leader Daisy Bates.
The 8-foot statue, created by sculptor Kevin Kresse, depicts Cash with a guitar and a Bible.
Cash's statue replaces one of former governor James P. Clarke, criticized for his racist views.
The musician's enduring legacy includes 90 million records sold and numerous awards, including 13 Grammys.
