A statue honoring the Rev. Billy Graham was unveiled on Thursday, May 16, at the U.S. Capitol. The statue is one of two that represents prominent North Carolinians.
Rev. Billy Graham was remembered as 'one of America's greatest citizens and enduring heroes' during an unveiling ceremony of a statue in his honor at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, May 16. The event featured speeches from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper , members of North Carolina's congressional delegation, and Rev. Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham and the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse.
Two of them are presidents – Presidents Ford and Reagan – and one is Rosa Parks,' he said. 'And the other, as of today, will be Rev. Billy Graham.' Graham, said Johnson, was the 'leading ambassador for the Kingdom of our lifetimes.' 'Today, North Carolina gives the nation a symbol representing one of our dearest treasures, the Rev. Billy Graham: a man of faith, a man of North Carolina,' said Cooper.
He did not seek to bludgeon or deify any political candidate or party,' said Cooper. 'Instead, he would use his magnetic, loving and persuasive gifts to counsel and lift in prayer political leaders of both parties.' Graham 'treated all with dignity and respect.' Rev. Franklin Graham noted that his father's humble nature was in contrast to the statue's prominence.
He didn’t come to condemn, he came to save,' he said. This, said Franklin Graham, was the message his father preached throughout his life. 'My father believed it. He believed the Bible, cover to cover. He didn’t understand it all, but he certainly believed it all, every word of it.'
