A statue honoring the late U.S. Senator and former Indianapolis Mayor Richard Lugar was dedicated in downtown Indianapolis on Tuesday. The ceremony at Bicentennial Unity Plaza featured notable attendees, including Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who delivered a keynote address, and Former Vice President Mike Pence. Lugar, known for his bipartisan efforts and leadership in foreign policy, served as mayor from 1968 to 1976 and in the U.S. Senate until 2013. He was instrumental in arms control through the Nunn-Lugar Act and was awarded the Medal of Freedom in 2013 by President Obama. The statue will eventually be relocated to Lugar Plaza. Lugar's legacy as a civil and innovative leader is celebrated as a model for current and future public servants.
