Sign up to attend our presentation at the Gallery — Columbia: The Woman Who Was America.
Before Uncle Sam, before the Statue of Liberty, there was Columbia. So who was she? Columbia showed up in paintings, poems, and songs as the living symbol of the United States — a woman draped in stars and stripes, torch in hand, standing in for everything our fledgling nation aspired to be. She was everywhere for a long time, and then beginning in the 1930s, she... wasn't. This is a chance to meet Columbia again and think about what she meant and what she still might be.
