US News: Statues of Johnny Cash, Daisy Bates To Replace Controversial Statues In US Capitol
Statues of civil rights leader Daisy Bates and country singer Johnny Cash — two of Arkansas’ most celebrated icons — are headed to Washington, D.C., to represent the state in a U.S. Capitol display.
In 2019, then-Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed into law a bill that would swap out the state’s current statues at the Capitol’s National Statuary Hall Collection, which are of 19th century attorney Uriah Rose and former Arkansas Gov. and Sen. James P. Clarke, with the statues of Bates and Cash.
During the Civil War, Rose opposed leaving the Union but was loyal to Arkansas and the Confederacy; while Clarke was a white supremacist who was governor of the state and then a senator.
About the replacement, Hutchinson said history has to reflect the state and reflect more contemporary times.
