SARASOTA, Fla. - The New College of Florida in Sarasota announced Tuesday it will commission a statue of the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk , noting the tribute will serve as a symbol of its commitment to protecting the First Amendment and fostering civil discourse.
Though the statue's specifics have not yet been released, the college shared a sample rendering of the bronze statue—depicting Kirk sitting at a four-legged table with two open chairs, holding a microphone.
The scene is reminiscent of Kirk's nationwide Turning Point USA events, where the 31-year-old conservative activist would invite college students to peacefully discuss political issues as he sat behind a table.
