In June 2020, a petition called for Tennessee’s racist monuments to be replaced with a statue of Dolly Parton, “a true Tennessee hero”. Now, a Tennessee lawmaker has backed a dedication for the country music legend, proposing a statue in the grounds of her home state’s Capitol.
The bill introduced by Democratic Rep. John Mark Windle on Tuesday (January 13) aims to honour Parton for “all that she has contributed to this state”. The Nashville statue, it adds, would be financed with gifts, grants, and other donations, handled by a dedicated Dolly Parton Fund.
Besides her prolific musical output, Parton has long been recognised for her philanthropy. Her Imagination Library program sends books across the world to help improve children’s literacy, while her $1 million donation to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center helped fund a COVID-19 vaccine.

Famed singer and actress Dolly Parton has been a longtime philanthropist for her home state of Tennessee, prompting calls for a statue in her honor at the Capitol building in Nashville.
State Rep. John Mark Windle, a Democrat, has called for the creation of a Dolly Parton fund for the statue, which would be financed by gifts, grants and other donations. The public would play a part in the design of the statue, which would face Ryman Auditorium, the music venue where Parton has often performed.
State Representative John Mark Windle introduced a Bill for the creation of a statue in Nashville in honor of the country legend and her lifelong contributions.
