Description of Pictures: Ulysses Grant Bicentennial Commemoration by U.S. Capitol Historical Society
Celebrate this milestone with U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, Architect of the Capitol Brett Blanton, historian Ronald C. White, and USCHS!
U.S. Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, the Architect of the Capitol, and the U.S. Capitol Historical Society are proud to host this hybrid in-person and livestreamed commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States and Commander of the U.S. Army during the Civil War. 2022 also marks 100 years since the dedication of the Grant Memorial, located along the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool and recently restored by the Architect of the Capitol to its former glory.
During this event, we will celebrate Grant's contributions that saved the Republic, and we will discuss modern historians' reexamination of the man once held in equal-esteem with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Speakers include Senator Blunt, the 12th Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton, and Ronald C. White, Ph.D., author of the New York Times bestselling biography American Ulysses.
Speakers in sequence:
Welcome:
* The Honorable Jane L. Campbell, President/CEO, US Capitol Historical Society
Remarks:
* The Honorable Roy Blunt, United States Senator for Missouri
* The Honorable J. Brett Blanton, 12th Architect of the Capitol
* Ronald C. White, Ph.D., Author, "American Ulysses"
Closing:
* The Honorable Jane L. Campbell, President/CEO, US Capitol Historical Society

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
