Statue of Walt Whitman
Postcard courtesy of Cathy Scibelli

“Strong and content I travel the open road.” Jo Davidson’s sculptured figure of Walt Whitman which seems to stride eagerly along at the World’s Fair of 1940 in New York. It is entitled fittingly enough “The open Road” The Perisphere, which houses Democracity, is a fitting background for Walt, poet of democracy.
