House Votes to Toss Taney Bust, Confederate Statues-- Part 5

Three other statues honoring white supremacists -- including former U.S. Vice President John C. Calhoun of South Carolina --  would also be immediately removed under the legislation.  Longer-term, the architect of the Capitol would be instructed to identify any other statues depicting those who served in the Confederate States of America for removal from public display.

The statues would go back to the states that sent them.  The statue of Jefferson Davis, for example, would be returned to Mississippi and that of Alexander Hamilton Stevens would be returned to Georgia.

Davis served as the Confederacy's president and Stephens its vice president.

Each state gets to submit two statues for display in the Capitol.  When the donated statue arrives, it is placed in a location selected by the Joint Committee on the Library, a group of ten law3makers from both chambers that oversees works of fine art in the building.
