Did you know the U.S. Capitol building features one hundred statues of important Americans? Each one of the 50 states selects two prominent figures in its history to be included as statues representing the state in Washington, D.C.
How many of the 100 statues are of people of color?
How many are women?
After answering these questions, Who Needs A Statue? tells the stories of amazing women and people of color who are memorialized in statues across the United States.
Coauthored by Eve LaPlante and Margy Burns Knight (Africa Is Not A Country, Talking Walls, and Who Belongs Here?)
With full-color illustrations by Alix Delinois (Eight Days: A Story of Haiti, Mumbet’s Declaration of Independence, and Greetings, Leroy)
