(Springfield, IL) — One of the giant’s of Illinois politics could very soon lose his position in the Illinois Capitol. The statehouse’s Office of the Architect of the Capitol is set to meet today to talk about what to do about Stephen Douglas’ statue on the Capitol’s lawn and his portrait inside the statehouse. Views on Douglas have soured. He was once seen as one of Illinois’ most famous politicians, but now he is seen as a man with a racist past.
