This statue downtown is of
General Casimir Pulaski. It's across Michigan Avenue from a statue of
General Alexander Macomb. This statue was dedicated in 1966 by a special Mass at Cobo Hall downtown for the 2,000th anniversary of Christianity in Poland, which was celebrated by the Primate of Poland at the time, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski. There's a sign nearby that notes that the statue was illuminated by what was then Michigan Bell in the mid 1980s. I like the stance of Gen. Pulaski in this statue. It's pretty neat.
This plaque tells about the General and that it was presented to the city by the many residents of Polish descent.
