How do governments and citizens remember and commemorate the past ?
Monuments
Mount Rushmore
U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima)
The Liberty Bell
Lincoln Memorial
Monuments are the perfect way to remember events. They're durable and can sometimes even attract tourists, leading to even more poeple knowing about the event and commemorating it.
Federal holidays
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Thanksgiving
In my opinion, federal holidays are a great way to remember and commemorate events. It allows people to never forget and to keep learning more about them, year after year.
Art and music
John Mcrae's poem "In Flanders Fields"
The musical "Hamilton"
"Paul Revere" by Singleton Copley
Art and music are very original ways to remember events. Paintings become classical and songs can become popular and passed down from generation to generation.
Parades
Thanksgiving parades
National Memorial Day Parade
Tuesday Sunset Parades
I think parades are kind of a silly way to commemorate a historical event. It undermines its importance.
