Rhode Island

The seal of the period depicted a foul anchor with a cable twisted around the shank, but the artist added the figure of Liberty. Since Rhode Island was founded by religious leaders, historians believe the state motto "hope" stems from a biblical phrase. "Hope we have as an anchor of the soul" is a likely candidate.

This window is displayed on the third floor of the Hall of Justice.
