Augusta Savage was an American sculptor associated with the Harlem Renaissance. She was also a teacher whose studio was important to the careers of a generation of artists who would become nationally known. She worked for equal rights for African Americans in the arts.
Augusta Savage battled racism to secure a place for African American women in the art world. She was turned down for a summer art program sponsored by the French government because she was Black. This racist event played a significant role in her life. Savage was deeply upset and questioned the committee, beginning the first of many public fights for equal rights in her life by writing a letter to the New York World.
She launched the Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts, located in a basement on West 143rd Street in Harlem with the help of a grant from the Carnegie Foundation. The art center in Harlem played a crucial role in the development of many young black artists. Savage also fought successfully for the inclusion of black artists in WPA projects.
