Marianne, The Goddess of Liberty is displayed at the History Museum of Mobile, March 19, 2019, in Mobile, Alabama. The 18-foot tall terra cotta statue was placed on top of the Mobile County Courthouse in 1889 and remained there until 1917 when it was removed after sustaining hurricane damage the previous year. She holds the torch of enlightenment and wears the Phrygian cap of freedom. An eagle at her feet represents freedom and independence. Marianne is a national symbol of the French Republic. Mobile was founded as the capital of French Louisiana in 1702 and remained under French rule until 1763. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
