This is awesome! Another civil rights pioneer will be seen within the walls of the U.S. Capital for decades to come. This really is one of my heroes. The statue of Parks, 9 feet tall and in bronze, will be in Statuary Hall, where the House of Representatives met in the early 1800s. A niece and a longtime friend of Parks assisted the President and a few congressional leaders pull off the shroud that covered the statue. It’s perfect too. I say it signifies who this woman really was. Strong, hard, stood well in her position, and posture up straight with confidence. I LOVE IT. Drop down bottom and check it out.
Rosa Parks To Be Honored With A Statue On Capital Hill
Rosa Parks will become the first African American woman to earn a statue on Capital Hill. Sen. Charles E. Schumer announced that Rosa’s statue will be placed in Statuary Hall. Each state in America sends two statues representing people from their state and Rosa has been chosen from Alabama. The statue will be arriving later this year. If anyone deserves a statue in the Hall, it’s certainly Rosa Parks. Read more below.
