A Bridge Across and Beyond

A Bridge Across and Beyond, is a public artwork by American artist Richard Hunt, located at the Blackburn Center on the Howard University campus in Washington, D.C., United States.

A Bridge Across and Beyond was originally surveyed as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture!

[1][2][3] "A Bridge Across and Beyond" is a welded bronze abstract sculpture which sits, surrounded by fountains, within a large reflecting pool.

The sculpture consists of two massive pyramid-like structures that bend towards each other, symbolizing both Africa and the descendants of Africans in America; the "bridge" is formed by abstract African symbols reaching across from each pyramid to the other.

[4][1][5] This sculpture was donated to the university by John Debrew, Jr., the CEO of Mildred Andrew's Fund.
