Mandela Fellows tour Capitol Square

The Mandela Washington Fellows toured Capitol Square, a complex that includes the Ohio Statehouse, Senate Building and Atrium, on July 13, 2017. The guided tour included viewing the buildings of Ohio's working government offices and learning about the period during which Ohio's democracy was founded and formed. The tour included time in the Map Room, the Grand Stair Hall, the Rotunda and the George Washington Williams Memorial Room, a room that honors Ohio's first African-American legislator. The Fellows also enjoyed the opportunity to view the House and Senate Chambers.
