Following his death on July 23, 1955, the Council of the Organization of American States passed a resolution to honor him with a bust placed in the Aztec Garden. They chose a bust sculpted in 1943 when Mr. Hull was 72 years old, which Mr. Hull himself preferred. It was made by Bryant Baker, who also cast this copy. Early in his career, Hull was appointed a judge in the Fifth Judicial District and later was elected to the House of Representatives in 1907 and the Senate in 1931. Franklin Roosevelt appointed him the first secretary of state in 1933 where he promoted the "Good Neighbor" policy in Latin America which advocated a united front of the Americas against aggression.
