It's July 2nd. This day in 1864, President Lincoln signed a law declaring the chamber previously used as the House of Representatives to be a statuary hall, featuring two statues submitted by each state.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the kinds of statues that got submitted, what kind of story of American history it told, and how that has started to shift in recent years.

Want to test your knowledge of who is in the statuary hall? Check out the quiz put together by researcher Jacob Feldman! It's in our newsletter, which you can sign up for at thisdaypod.com
