This little oasis of flowers and fountains honors the famed statesman and author of the Commonwealth of Virginia Declaration of Rights (a forerunner to the US Bill of Rights). Wendy M Ross' bronze sculpture of Mason sits (literally; his legs are crossed and the man looks eminently relaxed) on a marble bench under a pretty covered arcade. His wise words against slavery and in support of human rights are incised in the bench.
