TL;DR for those uninitiated: This series will attempt to curate an alternative National Statuary Hall Collection, with entirely new people for each state.
Last post, JFK and Charles Sumner were chosen to represent Massachusetts.
Today, we’re covering Michigan, which is currently represented by Gerald R. Ford and Lewis Cass, which was formerly represented by Zachariah Chandler, and which is due to be represented by Coleman Young (whom the state legislature voted to replace Cass with in 2022).
The rules and criteria for this series is as follows:
- The results will be chosen from the most upvoted relevant comment on each post. Since each state donates two statues, to qualify, each comment must include two suggestions for the new statues. You must include two suggestions/nominations per comment.
- Persons currently in the National Statuary Hall Collection, who have formerly been in the national statutory hall collection, and who are not technically in the collection but who are housed in the capital, are ineligible for this series. As such, you cannot suggest either Ford, Cass, Chandler, or Young.
- Persons must be deceased for them to be considered eligible (as per eligibility rules for the actual National Statuary Hall Collection).
- in the event of a tie, and only in such an event, the winner will be chosen simply from which of the tied comments I personally prefer.

Today, we’re covering California, which is currently represented by statues of Ronald Reagan and Junípero Serra, and which was previously represented by a statue of Thomas Starr King.
The rules and criteria for this series is as follows:
- The results will be chosen from the most upvoted relevant comment on each post. Since each state donates two statues, to qualify, each comment must include two suggestions for the new statues. You must include two suggestions/nominations per comment.

OPs note: I’m really looking forward to this installment of the series. California has a pretty rich history stretching across from New Spain, early Mexico, the 19th century US, the progressive era, the 20th century American empire, and everything in between.
After the revision edition last post, I’ve elected to change a few things on the tier list, such as moving Radetzky out of Military genius, Wittgenstein out of Truly Exceptional, and Patrice de MacMahon from Poor to Mediocre.
