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.”

An Illinois House of Representatives task force will judge Capitol artifacts against the values and morals of the state, the House speaker said Monday in an accounting that began with last summer s removal of a Stephen A. Douglas statue following the revelation that the legendary Illinois senator owned slaves.
Rep. Mary Flowers, who in January became the longest-serving Black legislator in Illinois history, will lead a bipartisan Statue and Monument Review Task Force, according to Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch. In public hearings, it will encourage recommendations about which historic Illinois figures should be memorialized on Capitol grounds, and how, including removing offensive depictions and erecting new ones for those overlooked.
