Dorris Keeven-Franke -- Archer Alexander: The Monument's Unknown Hero


It was just six months ago that DC delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton announced plans to introduce legislation to remove this statue from Lincoln Park.  That same day protesters on-site vowed to bring it down.  As a result, a barrier fence was installed around the memorial to protect it from vandalism, which was later removed.  The statue was dedicated nearly 150 years ago, so what's all the fuss?

Dorris is the author of several books on Missouri history, she is a professional genealogist with over forty years of experience, and a professional archivist.  Her research on Archer’s story has taken her from Missouri to Virginia and Washington, DC.  She is working with Alexander's descendents from whom she learned that their number includes champion boxer, Muhammad Ali.  Dorris is the Executive Director of the Missouri Germans Consortium.
