Item Description
In 1999 long-time supporters Leasa McLean and George Casey commissioned artist Bill Mack to create four art pieces in bas relief that would honor the extraordinary First Ladies who championed the Equal Rights Amendment.
First Ladies Who Worked For Women's Rights Bas Relief Sculpture
This bas relief sculpture, designed by artist Bill Mack, honors the First Ladies who worked for women's rights. (Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford, Hillary Clinton, Lady Bird Johnson, and Rosalyn Carter). Four copies were created. Two in a sand tone and two in a bronze tone.
One is at the Ford Presidential Library in Michigan (the donor was from Michigan).
One is at the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. (President Clinton was in office when the art piece was completed.)
One is on display at the Sewall Belmont House in Washington, DC.
The last one hung in our office until we moved in 2012. Our new office doesn't have a wall that gives the artwork justice. Its dimensions are 4ft. 6.5 inches wide, 3ft 6 inches tall, and 3 inches deep. It weighs about 60 pounds.
