Bill > H3013

This bill directs the Superintendent of State Office Buildings to install a permanent memorial in the Massachusetts State House honoring Mercy Otis Warren, a leading author, playwright, satirist, and patriot in colonial Massachusetts. The memorial, a gift from Cape Cod artist David Lewis, will be installed in a conspicuous place chosen by the State House Art Commission and will recognize Warren's contributions to the creation of the Constitution's Bill of Rights and her book "History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution," which became the country's first published history of the American Revolution.
