The House has approved a measure that will allow Emancipation Hall to host the June unveiling of the first District-selected statue inside the U.S. Capitol.

“Today, after years of work, our city receives closure that residents will be represented in the Capitol with a statue, like each of the 50 states,” Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District’s nonvoting member of the House, said in a statement. “Next month, on June 19, we will celebrate this long-sought symbol of our American citizenship.”
