Who is This Person and Why are They Important? | Back to School Series

Okay, so I know in my last post, I said tune back in next week for my next statue post, well next week came early. I decided that because there currently is not an unanswered post in one of my favorite groups at ActiveRain: Statues of the World, that I would go ahead and post this one. Also because this is a part of my back to school series, we need to keep those brains revved up even over the weekend.

Who is This Person, What City, State, Province, or Country is it in? Like Vegas Bob likes to say, here is a photo of a statue that I took a year or so ago and I can't remember who this person is and I need a little help.

So please tell me Who the person in this statue is, what city, state, province or country it is in, and why this person was immortalized in a statue!
