Monumental Conversations: What We Found When We Analyzed America's Monuments

[@mediaassassin]

Were I to guess, the most common form of monument in the U.S. are named, memorial public roads; e.g., Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive in NYC, or Robert Crain Highway in Maryland. Because of this, I'm curious: Why didn’t this report begin with listing the ways U.S. monumentalism is expressed (e.g., buildings, bridges, statues, etc.), or even mention these expressions as a sub-category of the audit; e.g., does the audit take streets and roads into account, in its survey? How does this type of _memoria_ fit into the four key findings (18:29) which were noted? I.e., if streets and roads were included, would those statements need to be reformulated? - HA

Why do you guys think that the stories of the monuments are being misrepresented?

It is very interesting how the monument landscape is majority whites and male and not females or blacks I wonder if that will ever increase.
