FRANCOIS CHOUTEAU STATUE DEBUTS MARCH 6 The first for four statues for the Francois Chouteau & Native American Heritage Fountain will be unveiled at noon, Wed., March 6 in the Rotunda of KCMO City Hall. Meet the sculptor Kwan Wu (working on the Chouteau statue in the photo), and thank donors and city officials who are making this magnificent art and history creation come to life.
