Arkansas is replacing its century-old statues in the U.S. Capitol with more modern figures: American music legend Johnny Cash and civil rights hero Daisy Lee Gatson Bates
Arkansas is replacing its century-old statues in the U.S. Capitol with more modern figures: American music legend Johnny Cash and civil rights hero Daisy Lee Gatson Bates.
While Rose opposed secession, he sided with the Confederacy when Arkansas split from the Union, Roll Call reported. And Clarke had a legacy of racist views, vowing to “preserve the white standards of civilization” while running for governor in 1894. It’s not clear when the statue swap will take effect, but Roll Call reported it would likely take several years as private funds had to be raised for their construction. “If I could pick any two, those would probably be the two,” former state Rep. Clarke Tucker told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. “Johnny Cash is my favorite musician of all time. He’s had a pretty significant impact on my life through his music.
“It looks like the state of Arkansas is shining down on one of its darling daughters today,” Bates’ goddaughter, Jan Brown, told the Democrat-Gazette. “To have her being recognized by millions of people all over the world, this is something that will resonate and will help improve our state.”
