About Cash Crop: A Legacy Installation with Stephen Hayes
The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum will continue the legacy with Cash Crop, an installation by renowned artist and creator Stephen Hayes.
Featuring fifteen life-size sculptures of human figures cast in concrete and bound in chains and metal of the Atlantic slave trade, Cash Crop strives to create a connection between human rights violations of the past and present. The 15 life-sized casts of the artist's friends and family represent the 15 million African people forcefully brought to the Americas between 1540 and 1850.
