Abstract:

Art and architecture historian, Kirk Savage, provides a brief history of monument construction in the United States, highlighting the boost in memorials following the Civil War and the lack of monuments for African Americans and women. To emphasize contemporary trends in public memorials, he then describes three recently erected monuments in North Carolina: the 9/11 World Trade Center Beam, Chapel Hill's monument to the \"Unsung Founders,\" and the Andy Griffith monuments.
