  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Two Square Guys Mariè-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roche-Gilbert du Motier, the Marquis de La Fayette, the French hero of the American Revolution, was honored with a public square named in his honor. Lafayette Square was used as a graveyard, a racetrack, a bivouac, a slave market and the site of many celebrations and political protests. Mills Statue of Jackson in Lafayette Square, Washington, D. C. But this is not the Lafayette Square in New Orleans, but the one in Washington, D. C. Once a part of the “pleasure grounds” of the Presidential Mansion, Thomas Jefferson separated this park area from the White House grounds in 1804 when he had Pennsylvania Avenue cut through. There is a statue of Lafayette in the square, but the most prominent statue (directly in the center) is the equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson by sculptor Clark Mills. On January 8, 1853 (after being cast in bronze less than a mile away), it was the first equestrian statue to be erected in the United States. And it is all too familiar to New Orleanians, for it is identical to the one in Jackson Square in the French Quarter. Jackson Square, at the heart of the new city laid out by Adrien de Pauger, was first known as Place d’Armes. Under the Spanish it was referred to as Plaza de Armas, and the Creole citizenry also called it Place Publique. The square witnessed the transfer of Louisiana from the French to the United States in 1803, and in 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette it was visited the historic square.

  • Capitol Buildings and Grounds
    CAPITOL BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS UNITED STATES CAPITOL OVERVIEW OF THE BUILDING AND ITS FUNCTION The United States Capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. It has housed the meeting chambers of the Senate and the House of Representatives for almost two centuries. Begun in 1793, the Capitol has been built, burnt, rebuilt, extended, and restored; today, it stands as a monument not only to its builders but also to the American people and their government. As the focal point of the government's Legislative Branch, the Capitol is the centerpiece of the Capitol Complex, which includes the six principal Congressional office buildings and three Library of Congress buildings constructed on Capitol Hill in the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition to its active use by Congress, the Capitol is a museum of American art and history. Each year, it is visited by an estimated seven to ten million people from around the world. A fine example of 19th-century neoclassical architecture, the Capitol combines function with aesthetics. Its designs derived from ancient Greece and Rome evoke the ideals that guided the Nation's founders as they framed their new republic. As the building was expanded from its original design, harmony with the existing portions was carefully maintained. Today, the Capitol covers a ground area of 175,170 square feet, or about 4 acres, and has a floor area of approximately 161¤2 acres. Its length, from north to south, is 751 feet 4 inches; its greatest width, including approaches, is 350 feet. Its height above the base line on the east front to the top of the Statue of Freedom is 287 feet 51¤2 inches; from the basement floor to the top of the dome is an ascent of 365 steps.

ADDENDUM TO THE JOURNAL The following remarks by Senator SCOTT were ordered printed in the Journal of February 28, 2019: Remarks by Senator SCOTT This is the last day of the month and the last day of Black History Month for this year. Black History Month was created for the purpose of remembering and observing the contributions that African Americans have made to our society. Often times, we recognize those whose names were more prominent, but there were many others whose legacies were rich, yet they received little acclaim and recognition. Today, I’d like to address you briefly about one such person and two of his accomplishments. His name is rarely mentioned, yet his achievements stand tall for all to see. His famous work has not only been viewed by tourists here in America, but by people from all over the world. His name is Philip Reid, an African American craftsman and artisan. Philip Reid, was an African American master craftsman and artisan who played a key role as the foreman in the casting of the statue of Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans and the Statue of Freedom sculpture atop the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
