While attending a “We Are One” rally in Chicago’s Daley Center I wandered across the street to admire these bas reliefs on the front of the Cook County Building.

These are the work of Herman Atkins MacNeil, a renowned sculptor who did work on the Columbian Exposition, the U.S. Supreme Court and designed the Standing Liberty quarter. The latter is known as one of the most beautiful coins ever circulated.
