A golden globe held aloft is a detail from Marshall Fredericks' iconic sculpture that fronts the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center (formerly the City-County Building). Dennis Alan Nawrocki in his book, "Art in Detroit Public Places," says the sphere with emanating rays represents God. The statue was dedicated in 1958. This photo was taken before the statue's renovation in 2008.
