The American flag will be raised again overnight and will be visible to visitors beginning Saturday morning. Weather conditions may periodically require the flag to be temporarily lowered.

The patriotic lighting display will continue nightly through July 4, illuminating Hoover Dam and the surrounding canyon walls starting at dusk. To better accommodate visitors, the top-of-dam and Memorial Bridge walkways will remain open until 10 p.m. each night.

John Morton-Finney lived a remarkable life dedicated to education and service. Born on June 25, 1889, in Uniontown, Kentucky, he served in the U.S. Army as a Buffalo Soldier with the 24th Infantry Regiment from 1911 to 1914. He also served with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I.

Over his lifetime, Morton-Finney earned 11 college degrees, including five in law. He taught foreign languages, including Greek, Latin, German, Spanish, and French, in Indianapolis Public Schools for 47 years. He was a member of the original faculty at Crispus Attucks High School and later served as head of its foreign language department.

He was admitted to the Indiana Supreme Court bar in 1935, the U.S. District Court in 1941, and the U.S. Supreme Court in 1972. Morton-Finney practiced law well into his later years, continuing his commitment to lifelong learning.

He passed away on January 28, 1998, at the age of 108. His life stands as an inspiring example of dedication to knowledge, teaching, and professional achievement across more than a century.
