Cash Statue Unveiled at U.S. Capitol

The bronze statue of the iconic musician represents Arkansas and marks the first time a musician is honored in the National Statuary Hall Collection

The statue depicts Cash with a guitar on his back and a Bible in his hand, crafted by Rock sculptor Kevin Kresse.
The statue replaces one of James P. Clarke, a former Arkansas governor and segregationist, as part of a 2019 decision to update the state's representations.
Cash's daughter, Rosanne Cash, and over 100 family members attended the unveiling ceremony, along with lawmakers from both parties.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries praised Cash's legacy, highlighting his contributions to music and social causes.
Cash joins civil rights leader Daisy Bates, whose statue was unveiled earlier this year, as Arkansas's representatives in the Capitol.
