                <text>The erection of The Spirit of Detroit at the City-County Building (now Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) in 1958 marked the formal completion of the structure whose construction began in 1951. Located in front of a white marble wall at the entrance to the building, the sculpture depicts the cultural and religious spirit of the Detroit community.   At the time, The Spirit of Detroit was said to be the largest sculpture cast in Europe since the Renaissance period (1400 â€“ 1600).  It stands sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet across from fingertip to fingertip.&#13;
&#13;
On the Vermont marble wall behind the figure are the official seals of Wayne County, Michigan and the City of Detroit. Engraved on the wall is a verse from II Corinthians:  â€Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â€ Designed to continue the thought indicated in the inscription on the wall, the sculpture is in the form of a kneeling man with outstretched arms. In his right hand he holds a father, mother and child representing family, which, according to Fredericks, is â€œprobably the noblest human relationship.â€ In his left hand, the figure bears a sphere with rays emanating from it signifying deity. Fredericks chose the sphere because it is an object complete in itself with no beginning and no end. &#13;
&#13;
This sculpture took Fredericks four years to complete and meant a great deal to the sculptor, who once remarked, â€œI pray only that this work in some small way inspire those who see it.â€ Fredericks appears to have gotten his wish as the citizens of Detroit immediately embraced this giant figure as the cityâ€™s cultural icon by giving it the affectionate nickname, â€œThe Jolly Green Giant.â€  The sculpture is also frequently dressed in local sporting teamsâ€™ jerseys during playoff action, and The Spirit of Detroitâ€™s image appears as the central element in the logos of the cityâ€™s departments and services.&#13;

                <text>The erection of The Spirit of Detroit at the City-County Building (now Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) in 1958 marked the formal completion of the structure whose construction began in 1951. Located in front of a white marble wall at the entrance to the building, the sculpture depicts the cultural and religious spirit of the Detroit community.   At the time, The Spirit of Detroit was said to be the largest sculpture cast in Europe since the Renaissance period (1400 â€“ 1600).  It stands sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet across from fingertip to fingertip.&#13;
&#13;
On the Vermont marble wall behind the figure are the official seals of Wayne County, Michigan and the City of Detroit. Engraved on the wall is a verse from II Corinthians:  â€Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â€ Designed to continue the thought indicated in the inscription on the wall, the sculpture is in the form of a kneeling man with outstretched arms. In his right hand he holds a father, mother and child representing family, which, according to Fredericks, is â€œprobably the noblest human relationship.â€ In his left hand, the figure bears a sphere with rays emanating from it signifying deity. Fredericks chose the sphere because it is an object complete in itself with no beginning and no end. &#13;
&#13;
This sculpture took Fredericks four years to complete and meant a great deal to the sculptor, who once remarked, â€œI pray only that this work in some small way inspire those who see it.â€ Fredericks appears to have gotten his wish as the citizens of Detroit immediately embraced this giant figure as the cityâ€™s cultural icon by giving it the affectionate nickname, â€œThe Jolly Green Giant.â€  The sculpture is also frequently dressed in local sporting teamsâ€™ jerseys during playoff action, and The Spirit of Detroitâ€™s image appears as the central element in the logos of the cityâ€™s departments and services.&#13;

                <text>The erection of The Spirit of Detroit at the City-County Building (now Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) in 1958 marked the formal completion of the structure whose construction began in 1951. Located in front of a white marble wall at the entrance to the building, the sculpture depicts the cultural and religious spirit of the Detroit community.   At the time, The Spirit of Detroit was said to be the largest sculpture cast in Europe since the Renaissance period (1400 â€“ 1600).  It stands sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet across from fingertip to fingertip.&#13;
&#13;
On the Vermont marble wall behind the figure are the official seals of Wayne County, Michigan and the City of Detroit. Engraved on the wall is a verse from II Corinthians:  â€Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â€ Designed to continue the thought indicated in the inscription on the wall, the sculpture is in the form of a kneeling man with outstretched arms. In his right hand he holds a father, mother and child representing family, which, according to Fredericks, is â€œprobably the noblest human relationship.â€ In his left hand, the figure bears a sphere with rays emanating from it signifying deity. Fredericks chose the sphere because it is an object complete in itself with no beginning and no end. &#13;
&#13;
This sculpture took Fredericks four years to complete and meant a great deal to the sculptor, who once remarked, â€œI pray only that this work in some small way inspire those who see it.â€ Fredericks appears to have gotten his wish as the citizens of Detroit immediately embraced this giant figure as the cityâ€™s cultural icon by giving it the affectionate nickname, â€œThe Jolly Green Giant.â€  The sculpture is also frequently dressed in local sporting teamsâ€™ jerseys during playoff action, and The Spirit of Detroitâ€™s image appears as the central element in the logos of the cityâ€™s departments and services.&#13;

                <text>The erection of The Spirit of Detroit at the City-County Building (now Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) in 1958 marked the formal completion of the structure whose construction began in 1951. Located in front of a white marble wall at the entrance to the building, the sculpture depicts the cultural and religious spirit of the Detroit community.   At the time, The Spirit of Detroit was said to be the largest sculpture cast in Europe since the Renaissance period (1400 â€“ 1600).  It stands sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet across from fingertip to fingertip.&#13;
&#13;
On the Vermont marble wall behind the figure are the official seals of Wayne County, Michigan and the City of Detroit. Engraved on the wall is a verse from II Corinthians:  â€Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â€ Designed to continue the thought indicated in the inscription on the wall, the sculpture is in the form of a kneeling man with outstretched arms. In his right hand he holds a father, mother and child representing family, which, according to Fredericks, is â€œprobably the noblest human relationship.â€ In his left hand, the figure bears a sphere with rays emanating from it signifying deity. Fredericks chose the sphere because it is an object complete in itself with no beginning and no end. &#13;
&#13;
This sculpture took Fredericks four years to complete and meant a great deal to the sculptor, who once remarked, â€œI pray only that this work in some small way inspire those who see it.â€ Fredericks appears to have gotten his wish as the citizens of Detroit immediately embraced this giant figure as the cityâ€™s cultural icon by giving it the affectionate nickname, â€œThe Jolly Green Giant.â€  The sculpture is also frequently dressed in local sporting teamsâ€™ jerseys during playoff action, and The Spirit of Detroitâ€™s image appears as the central element in the logos of the cityâ€™s departments and services.&#13;

                <text>The erection of The Spirit of Detroit at the City-County Building (now Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) in 1958 marked the formal completion of the structure whose construction began in 1951. Located in front of a white marble wall at the entrance to the building, the sculpture depicts the cultural and religious spirit of the Detroit community.   At the time, The Spirit of Detroit was said to be the largest sculpture cast in Europe since the Renaissance period (1400 â€“ 1600).  It stands sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet across from fingertip to fingertip.&#13;
&#13;
On the Vermont marble wall behind the figure are the official seals of Wayne County, Michigan and the City of Detroit. Engraved on the wall is a verse from II Corinthians:  â€Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â€ Designed to continue the thought indicated in the inscription on the wall, the sculpture is in the form of a kneeling man with outstretched arms. In his right hand he holds a father, mother and child representing family, which, according to Fredericks, is â€œprobably the noblest human relationship.â€ In his left hand, the figure bears a sphere with rays emanating from it signifying deity. Fredericks chose the sphere because it is an object complete in itself with no beginning and no end. &#13;
&#13;
This sculpture took Fredericks four years to complete and meant a great deal to the sculptor, who once remarked, â€œI pray only that this work in some small way inspire those who see it.â€ Fredericks appears to have gotten his wish as the citizens of Detroit immediately embraced this giant figure as the cityâ€™s cultural icon by giving it the affectionate nickname, â€œThe Jolly Green Giant.â€  The sculpture is also frequently dressed in local sporting teamsâ€™ jerseys during playoff action, and The Spirit of Detroitâ€™s image appears as the central element in the logos of the cityâ€™s departments and services.&#13;

                <text>The erection of The Spirit of Detroit at the City-County Building (now Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) in 1958 marked the formal completion of the structure whose construction began in 1951. Located in front of a white marble wall at the entrance to the building, the sculpture depicts the cultural and religious spirit of the Detroit community.   At the time, The Spirit of Detroit was said to be the largest sculpture cast in Europe since the Renaissance period (1400 â€“ 1600).  It stands sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet across from fingertip to fingertip.&#13;
&#13;
On the Vermont marble wall behind the figure are the official seals of Wayne County, Michigan and the City of Detroit. Engraved on the wall is a verse from II Corinthians:  â€Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â€ Designed to continue the thought indicated in the inscription on the wall, the sculpture is in the form of a kneeling man with outstretched arms. In his right hand he holds a father, mother and child representing family, which, according to Fredericks, is â€œprobably the noblest human relationship.â€ In his left hand, the figure bears a sphere with rays emanating from it signifying deity. Fredericks chose the sphere because it is an object complete in itself with no beginning and no end. &#13;
&#13;
This sculpture took Fredericks four years to complete and meant a great deal to the sculptor, who once remarked, â€œI pray only that this work in some small way inspire those who see it.â€ Fredericks appears to have gotten his wish as the citizens of Detroit immediately embraced this giant figure as the cityâ€™s cultural icon by giving it the affectionate nickname, â€œThe Jolly Green Giant.â€  The sculpture is also frequently dressed in local sporting teamsâ€™ jerseys during playoff action, and The Spirit of Detroitâ€™s image appears as the central element in the logos of the cityâ€™s departments and services.&#13;

                <text>The erection of The Spirit of Detroit at the City-County Building (now Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) in 1958 marked the formal completion of the structure whose construction began in 1951. Located in front of a white marble wall at the entrance to the building, the sculpture depicts the cultural and religious spirit of the Detroit community.   At the time, The Spirit of Detroit was said to be the largest sculpture cast in Europe since the Renaissance period (1400 â€“ 1600).  It stands sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet across from fingertip to fingertip.&#13;
&#13;
On the Vermont marble wall behind the figure are the official seals of Wayne County, Michigan and the City of Detroit. Engraved on the wall is a verse from II Corinthians:  â€Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â€ Designed to continue the thought indicated in the inscription on the wall, the sculpture is in the form of a kneeling man with outstretched arms. In his right hand he holds a father, mother and child representing family, which, according to Fredericks, is â€œprobably the noblest human relationship.â€ In his left hand, the figure bears a sphere with rays emanating from it signifying deity. Fredericks chose the sphere because it is an object complete in itself with no beginning and no end. &#13;
&#13;
This sculpture took Fredericks four years to complete and meant a great deal to the sculptor, who once remarked, â€œI pray only that this work in some small way inspire those who see it.â€ Fredericks appears to have gotten his wish as the citizens of Detroit immediately embraced this giant figure as the cityâ€™s cultural icon by giving it the affectionate nickname, â€œThe Jolly Green Giant.â€  The sculpture is also frequently dressed in local sporting teamsâ€™ jerseys during playoff action, and The Spirit of Detroitâ€™s image appears as the central element in the logos of the cityâ€™s departments and services.&#13;
