In another symbolic victory for D.C. statehood, the District is getting a second statue on the grounds of the Capitol, bringing it on par with states across the country that—by federal law—are allowed two dedicated statues there.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the U.S. Capitol will add a statue of Pierre L’Enfant to its collection as a gift from the District. The gift marks the second statue contributed from D.C. In 2013, a bronze statue of abolitionist Frederick Douglass was unveiled in the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall. D.C. is currently the only non-state jurisdiction with even one statue at the Capitol.

The statue of L’Enfant—the engineer, city planner, and Revolutionary War veteran who laid out the original city plan—is currently located in the lobby of a city government building at One Judiciary Square. The 10-foot bronze sculpture, by artist Gordon Kray (who has sculpted multiple projects on the grounds of the College of William & Mary), was commissioned by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities and completed in 2007.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton said she will host a public ceremony for District residents when the statue is unveiled at the Capitol later this year (the exact date is to be announced). In a statement, Norton called the announcement a historic victory that gives D.C. equality with the states.

“With historic momentum as our D.C. statehood bill is headed to the House floor for passage this year, the L’Enfant statue is a potent symbol that D.C. equality and D.C. statehood are on the way,” Norton said. “From the Speaker’s strong endorsement of D.C. statehood, to her unwavering advocacy for D.C. voting rights and home rule, she is moving the District toward the equality our residents have sought for 219 years.”

Ironically, the announcement comes on the anniversary of the Organic Act of 1801, which stripped D.C. residents of congressional voting rights and self-government.

“We are proud to take this step to ensure that the District’s equality is recognized in the halls of the Capitol,” Pelosi said. “Alongside Frederick Douglass, a fierce advocate for D.C. voting rights, this statue will serve as a tribute to the generations of Washingtonians who have fought to right the wrongs of history and ensure that the District has the voice in our democracy that it deserves.”

This story has been corrected to state that the statue’s original location was inside the lobby of the building at One Judiciary Square.
