[NJ] One week to the day after he was indicted on federal corruption charges, Mayor Tony Mack will unveil a bust of President Barack ObamaMy friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it...
in City Hall, his administration announced today.
The bust, which Mack said was purchased through donations, will sit directly in front of the wall that bears pictures of Mack and the city's other chief executives. Mack's color photo will be just feet away from the Obama likeness.
In a statement, Mack said the piece is being dedicated to honor the nation's first African-American president.
"The Barack H. Obama Presidential Bust recognizes the efforts of a great American who went on, against all odds, to change the course of American history," Mack said. "I can think of no more fitting a tribute in one of America's oldest cities; Trenton."
