The Florida Senate unveiled a gleaming new piece of art at one of its most-visited corridors in the state Capitol, after removing an old mural that included the Confederate flag.
The Florida Senate remodeling includes this artwork on the fifth floor gallery photographed at the start of session on Tuesday Jan. 14, 2020, in Tallahassee, Fla. The Florida Senate on Tuesday unveiled a gleaming new piece of art at one of its most-visited corridors in the state Capitol, after removing an old mural that included the Confederate flag.
The new artwork — a huge piece of wood in the shape of the state — represents the latest effort by lawmakers to strip away the divisive symbol from its official emblems amid scrutiny in recent years over public monuments to the Confederacy. The new artwork also includes the Senate's revamped seal, which was also recently changed to remove the Confederate flag.
The tunneling is especially appropriate because it is adjacent to the galleries from which the public can watch Senate floor proceedings. The tunnels, often made by insects or fungus, are sometimes referred to as galleries.
