How do we memorialize courageous people and actions? Examine each of these memorials. In the case of the Lincoln Memorial and the Iwo Jima Memorial, consider how the figures are portrayed and presented. How does this approach compare to the Washington Monument and the Vietnam War Memorial, which do not include images of people? How do these approaches differ from preserving someone’s home as a monument, as in the case of Frederick Douglass?
If someone were to memorialize your life, what would it look like?
