Statue of Billy Graham to Appear in US Capitol; Renowned Evangelist Conducted 400 Crusades

A North Carolina proposal to place a statue of the Reverend Billy Graham in the U.S. Capitol, has gained the approval from the state's House of Representatives and Senate, the Christian Headlines website reports today (September 19, 2015).

The proposal passed the House in April and recently passed the Senate with a unanimous vote. The proposal is now being passed along to North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory.

The statue of Graham would replace a statue of former North Carolina governor Charles Aycock,  who was governor from 1901 to 1905 and is remembered for his white supremacist links.

The famed evangelist Graham has conducted more than 400 evangelistic Crusades and led many to Christ. Graham, 96, still remains active in the public arena; however, his son, Franklin Graham -- also a pastor -- now leads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
