The late evangelist Billy Graham wiltake his place next week among 200 Americans honored with a statue in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., the Christian Post website reports today (May 9 , 2024).
Graham's statue will be unveiled on May 16 during an 11 a. m. ceremony that will be attended by musician Michael W. Smith, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R--La., and other congressional representatives, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association announced.
The bronze sculpture, designed by an artist from Graham's birthplace of Charlotte, North Carolina, will stand seven feet tall on a pedestal and depict him gesturing toward an open Bible in his hand as a symbol of his life's work.
The pedestal will be engraved with 'JOHN 3:16 and JOHN 14:6 , and Graham will be proclaimed as a "Preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
