Beautiful. When we visited the Capitol, this fresco was definitely a highlight, along with The Statue Of Freedom. Many a stirring moment in Our Nation's Capitol.
For the first time in my life I want to visit our Capitol. Dick Gregory introduced me to the American story behind the freedom cap. Until today I believed it to be of French origin and monopoly. We never learned about the Freedom Statue in history classes--high school or college. Independent reading proves to be of more value that required, often rote learning.
