George Mason Memorial Statue
The George Mason Memorial commemorates the neglected contributions of an important Founding Father.
Who is George Mason - he was the author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which served
as an inspiration to Thomas Jefferson while drafting the Declaration of Independence.
Perhaps George Mason's greatest act was withholding his signature from the United States Constitution,
because it did not abolish the slave trade.
The George Mason Memorial is near the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
