Music legend Johnny Cash is the first musician honored to have his likeness represented in the U.S. Capitol.

The 8 foot-tall bronze statue depicts the country singer as an embodiment of the America spirit. In the Capitol’s National Statuary Hall Collection, each state may donate two statues to represent their most notable residents. The statue of Johnny Cash joins Daisy Bates in representing their home state of Arkansas.
