Kansans Amelia Earhart is officially enshrined in the U. S. Capitals’ Statuary Hall, as she was honored in a ceremony yesterday in Washington, D.C.. Kansas Senator, Jerry Moran, says Earhart was someone who broke barriers and created opportunities for others and captivated the attention of the world with her adventuresome spirit. He went on:
The Kansas Legislature voted in 1999 to replace the state’s two statues with Earhart and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It took four years to get Eisenhower’s statue in Congress; but, nearly 23 years to get Earhart’s.
