Memorial built by concentration camp inmates to commemorate those who died in the camp, Manzanar, Inyo County, 2023.
Just finished reading Life After Manzanar, a book following some of the various inmates of the concentration camp after they were released. In a small part it is “feel good,” as some, notably the younger inmates, went on to lead fulfilling and productive lives. Others, especially the older inmates, had their lives destroyed, not a few of them dying not long after their release. Most of the incarcerated were long-term residents in the places where they had been arrested although almost none had criminal records, and many were citizens. On release, some went back to hostile, or at best indifferent, communities where they had once lived. Others staked out lives in new places. Wherever they went after 1945, their human and legal rights had been violated, all of the former inmates had been traumatized, and they had been robbed of a significant part of their lives. They had only one characteristic in common, all were members of a despised ethinic group. It is a grim tale but one which proves “it can happen here.”
Trump wants to build 250ft Washington DC arch that dwarfs Lincoln Memorial – report
Donald Trump reportedly wants the arch he is planning to build in Washington DC to dwarf the Lincoln Memorial.
The US president envision the planned arch to be a height of 250ft, or significantly taller than the 100ft-tall Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Post reported on Saturday. It would also be significantly taller than Paris’s 164ft-tall Arc de Triomphe – but less than half the height than the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri, the world’s tallest arch.
The latest proposed addition to the Washington skyline comes as Trump is already constructing a new East Wing to the White House containing a ballroom. At 89,000 sq ft, the new ballroom is supposed to be larger than the White House’s 55,000-sq-ft footprint, at the same 70ft height.
The scale of Trump’s envisioned arch, named the Independence Arch, has already alarmed some architectural experts, including one who initially supported a smaller arch.
“I don’t think an arch that large belongs there,” Catesby Leigh, an art critic who conceived of a more modest arch in a 2024 essay, told the Post. Leigh’s idea was reportedly brought to Trump by allies of the president’s administration
Leigh had initially proposed a temporary, 60ft arch to mark the 250th of the US’s declaration of independence. But Trump went for a permanent design four times larger and funded with leftover donations to the $400m White House ballroom project.
But Leigh also recommended an architect, Nicolas Leo Charbonneau, who in September posted enthusiastically on Twitter/X: “America needs a triumphal arch!” together with a rendering. Charbonneau reportedly has since been retained by the White House to work on the project.
But the site of the proposed arch is on a small plot of land that is under the jurisdiction of the US national park service. It lies between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery and could reshape the existing relationship between the two memorials as well as obstruct pedestrians’ views.
It could also be thematically jarring to plant a celebratory arch on Memorial Circle – amid the sightline of Arlington national cemetery, the Memorial Bridge (envisioned as symbolic representation of peace between the Union and Confederacy after the Civil War) and the Lincoln Memorial.
The chairperson of Benedictine College’s architecture program, John Haigh, told the Post: “It’s a very somber corridor”.
Trump is said to have told guests at a White House Christmas reception, “The one that people know mostly is the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. And we’re gonna top it by, I think, a lot.”
The idea for an enormous arch in Washington DC is not entirely new. Trump told Politico in December that he hoped to begin construction of the arch within two months. Earlier in January, he posted images to his Truth Social platform of three potential designs, including one with gold gilding.
