Spirit of Solidarity Monument
Grand Rapids Historical Commission - 2007
Three larger than life bronze figures, two men and one woman, dressed in the style of the early nineteenth century. One man wears a hat and the other holds his hat in his left hand. The woman wears a long dress and carries a large bag. The statues are place on free-form shape suspended just over the pool which is sunk below ground. Water cascades down the sides and lights are visible beneath the water. A wide rim surrounds the monument which is set in a circle with seating around the edge. Cars in the parking lot of the Gerald R. Form Presidential Museum and Library can be seen in the background.
