Title

Helen Keller, replica statue, permanent display and placement at Ivy Green in Tuscumbia, urged

Summary

This House Joint Resolution urges that the replica statue of Helen Keller be permanently placed and displayed at Ivy Green in Tuscumbia, Alabama.

What This Bill Does

It notes Helen Keller’s Alabama roots and the statue’s travel through the state, then requests that the replica be permanently displayed at Ivy Green, Keller’s birthplace. It represents the Legislature’s support for this placement, but it does not create a law or require funding. The resolution is a non-binding expression of intent rather than a statute.

Who It Affects

• Ivy Green in Tuscumbia and the local community, which would gain a permanent display of the replica statue at Keller’s birthplace.
• Alabama museums, educational groups, and the broader public who engage with Helen Keller’s legacy and the statue during its travels and after permanent placement.

Key Provisions

• Permanent placement and display of the replica Helen Keller statue at Ivy Green, Tuscumbia, Alabama.
• The statue is currently displayed at the State Capitol complex and traveled to museums; it should rest permanently at Ivy Green after these travels.
• The Legislature expresses firm support for the permanent placement and display of the replica statue at Ivy Green.
