Illinois Secretary Of State Jesse White Wants New Statue Of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. At State Capitol
CBS Chicago 5/4/2021 Syndicated Local – CBS Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS/AP) Believing the current statue of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Springfield is not a proper depiction of the civil rights icon, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is calling for the creation of a new monument in a more prominent location, and is putting up $5,000 to help make it happen.
“I stand ready to help in any way that will bring about a new statue of Dr. King that is prominent, dignified and representative not only of the man as I knew him but of the man as he was known to the nation and the world,” White said in a statement on Tuesday. “This includes contributing the first $5,000 to this effort. Dr. King is an icon ― a man who stood for equality, who rejected bigotry and segregation, and who did so in a non-violent manner.”
