The statue honoring aviator Amelia Earhart was unveiled in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., representing Kansas in the National Statuary Hall Collection on July 27, 2022.[1]
The statue is made of bronze and was cast by brothers Mark and George Lundeen using the lost-wax process.[2]
The statue replaced one of Kansas statesman John James Ingalls in the collection as the second representative of Kansas, after famed general and U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower.[2]
