A new statue is heading to the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol — but it’s not either of the long-requested two statues to represent the District of Columbia.

Alabama has decided to replace one of its two statues, of Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry, a former congressman, Confederate general and professor who advocated for free universal education, with one of Helen Keller, the famed Socialist Party activist and the first deaf and blind person to graduate from a university. The Washington Times reports that Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and others have signed off on the final design of the bronze memorial, which depicts Keller as a child standing by the water pump at her home in Tuscumbia, Ala., at the moment she solved what she called “the mystery of language,” when Annie Sullivan spelled out the word water in her hand while pumping water over her other hand. The statue could be completed by fall if all goes well, and will be placed in the Statuary Hall Collection as soon as a public ceremony with congressional leaders can be scheduled.

U.S. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton recently introduced a bill in the House that would finally allow D.C. to be represented by two statues in the Statuary Hall Collection. Norton has said she is confident Congress will pass the measure. It’s expected that the statues will be of Frederick Douglass and Pierre L’Enfant, though some locals are still pushing for a statue of Duke Ellington.
