In celebration of our Semiquincentennial, America's 250th Anniversary, I am creating a lasting memorial of American greatness, an honest memory of we the American people.
Our achievements and traditions, from discovery through founding, will be manifested in cameos, statuettes, tondos, and a book. The statuary will be Classive, in the imperial style of America's Golden Age (1876 - 1945). The book is part Livy’s Ab Urbe Condita (From the Founding of the City [Rome]), part Parson Weems’ fables, part Plutarch’s Lives, and too, the book is loquacious in the manner of Herodotus. Both the book and the statuary will be a testament.
There will be 33 cameos (now in thumbnail draft), five or six statuettes, and three medallions yearly through our Semiquincentennial (2026, the nation's 250th anniversary celebration) into 2027. As of 3 April 2024, I am forming statuettes of General Eisenhower, Striding Liberty, and our American Eagle. Also in 2024, Paul Bunyan, Pocahontas, and Uncle Sam statuettes, and medallions of George Washington, our American Eagle, and a longhorn bucranium.
Feddie Awards, James Madison portrait medallions for university law school chapters. The Harvard Law School Federalist Society Chapter will host the 43rd annual National Student Symposium on March 8–9, 2024.
The "Courage Award", a statuette for remarkable persons who courageously oppose Progressive, communistic, and Woke attacks on body, thought, and words.
