Asks Joint Committee on Library of Congress to approve replacing NJ statues of Richard Stockton and Philip Kearny in National Statuary Hall Collection with statues of Harriet Tubman and Alice Paul.
New Jersey's Assembly Bill A3727 requests the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress approve replacing the state's current statues of Richard Stockton and Philip Kearny in the National Statuary Hall Collection with statues of Harriet Tubman and Alice Paul. The bill creates a temporary seven-member state committee to select sculptors, secure funding, and manage the replacement process, including transportation and unveiling ceremonies. This would change New Jersey's representation in the Capitol's collection, highlighting Tubman's work as an abolitionist and Underground Railroad leader and Paul's role in securing women's suffrage. The bill follows federal procedures allowing states to request statue replacements, requiring formal approval from the Joint Committee. If approved, the new statues would honor figures with significant ties to New Jersey and national history.
