My favorite memorial is FDR's. It is a granite and bronze exhibit that goes through FDR's 4 terms as president. This exhibit always inspires me to do more with exhibit design. The ability to tell a story through life-sized sculptures and quotes is powerful. The water flowing through the rock reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright's FallingWater.
The words of FDR ring true today as they did 70 years ago - "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
I also saw the MLK memorial for the first time last night. Really amazing sculpture and design concept. It wasn't until I was leaving that I realized the wall with all his quotes was an arch. A clever reference to King's quote: "The moral arc of the universe is long but it always bends toward justice."
