Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller was a pioneer for the Harlem Renaissance. In 1914, her sculpture Ethiopia Awakening is said to have been a prelude to the Harlem Renaissance and the New Negro Movement. Awakening African Americans to a piece of their history before slavery.
Augusta Savage sculpted works of art that brought people together. She incorporated that sense of community in her sculpture titled The Harp.
