Summary
Gering, Nebraska, celebrated Independence Day with a heartfelt tribute to literary legend Willa Cather, unveiling a maquette of her sculpted by acclaimed Black artist Littleton Alston—the first to win a competition for the National Statuary Hall in D.C. Alston personally delivered the model, declaring, “She is home,” as it now rests near the Gering Public Library amid a garden of her favorite plants. The event, part of a larger patriotic celebration featuring state songs, poetry, and bluegrass music, honored Cather’s enduring legacy while spotlighting local pride and artistic achievement.
