Description
An account of the resource
This bronze equestrian statue of Simon Bolivar, liberator of much of South America from Spanish control, resides on the south end of Central Park on a black granite pedestal. It was donated by the government of Venezuela and sculpted by Sally Jane Farnham who won an international competition. An earlier statue of Bolivar in Central Park had ben removed after much criticism. President Warren G. Harding spoke at the dedication of the statue at Bolivar Hill near West 83rd Street on April 19, 1921. In 1946 Sixth Avenue was renamed Avenue of the Americas and a new plaza was created where it meets Central Park; the statue was moved to the new plaza designed to honor Pan-American heroes and would be joined by additional monuments. The memorial sites his role in liberating Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Columbia, and Bolivia.
