Dignitaries from 92 countries attended his state funeral three days later, on November Initial press reports indicated that President Kennedy The Eternal Flame be buried at Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline, Massachusettswhere his son Patrick Bouvier Kennedy who had died on August 9,two days after his premature birth was buried. The site was chosen because Kennedy and his friend, architect John Carl Warnecke, happened to visit the site in March and the President had admired the peaceful atmosphere of the location. Kennedy visited the site with McNamara on Saturday, November 23, and concluded that Jacqueline Kennedy's wishes should be honored. On Sunday, November 24,Jacqueline Kennedy requested an eternal flame for her husband's grave. One was the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in ParisThe Eternal Flame she and her husband had seen during a visit to France in Whitewhich was part of the inspiration for the stage musical Camelot the cast recording was a favorite of the Kennedys. The president's funeral was set for Monday, November 25, which left very little time to manufacture and install an eternal flame. Overnight, Colonel Clayton B. Lyle and a The Eternal Flame States Army Corps of Engineers team built the eternal flame: A propane gas-fueled tiki torch was procured from the Washington Gas and Light Companytested, and slightly modified for emplacement. The grave was set in a plot of grass roughly 5 yards 4. On the evening of November 26, the site was surrounded by a white picket fence.

Initially, there was some concern that an eternal flame might not The Eternal Flame approved by the cemetery. The Army Corps of Engineers was studying the installation of a permanent flame just a week after Kennedy's burial. The U. We must avoid adding elements that in later decades might become superficial and detract from the deeds of the man," Warnecke wrote [40] This conclusion drove the final design. The walkways and elliptical overlook were conceptualized very early in the design process. But in the summer of Sargent ShriverPresident Kennedy's brother-in-law, forcefully told Warnecke that "There must be something there when we get there. In the late summer and early fall, Warnecke considered massive headstones, a sarcophagusa sunken tomba raised tomb, and sculpture to mark the graves. Kennedy, and sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriverin attendance. First, Warnecke intended the grave itself to reflect the early New England tradition of a simple headstone set flat in the ground surrounded by grass. The entrance to the circular walkway was from the southeast, which created a southern, shorter leg of the circular walkway. Warnecke intended for this shorter walkway to be used by family members and dignitaries who The Eternal Flame making private visits to the grave, while the longer walkway would not only separate the public from these VIPs but also accommodate the long lines of people wishing to pay their respects. The plan The Eternal Flame for work to The Eternal Flame in the fall of and be completed by the fall of Department of Defense formally hired Warnecke to design the approaches although this was a fait accompli. Work on the John F. Kennedy burial site continued over the next two and a half years. The Washington Gas and Light Company offered to build, maintain, and supply gas to the eternal flame at no expense.

  • Thats My Fun Day Aug 25 2019 Isaiah 58
    THAT’S MY FUN DAY UNION HILL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF DENVILLE AUGUST 25, 2019 ISAIAH 58: 9B-14 Several months ago, I was waiting for an elevator somewHere and music was playing in the background. THe song was “Eternal Flame,” one of the biggest Hits from the 1980s all girl pop group THe Bangles. Waiting for that elevator was a lady wHo, ever so faintly, was singing along. Surprise!: Your pastor never learned not to talk to strangers. WHen the doors opened and we got on the elevator, I observed, “You were singing along. WHy did you stop?” PerHaps embarrassed at Having been Heard, sHe quickly replied, “OH, no, I wasn’t singing.” “UH, yes you were. Eternal Flame by the Bangles. 80s classic.” “No, really, I wasn’t,” sHe insisted. Nice voice. Maybe not Susanna Hoffs, but good enougH for the elevator. Like Peter in the courtyard, sHe was determined to deny singing at least until the cock crowed. THere is no sHame in enjoying THe Bangles’ music. I mean, it’s not like I caugHt Her as sHe decided to “Walk Like an Egyptian.” Still, the sound of the song reminded me of Having Had a group poster on my wall at college, and appreciating another band that used Rickenbacker guitars, singing they were “going down to Liverpool to do nothing.” THeir other most popular song of the time was “Manic Monday,” the lament of being too busy, running late, and Having one thing after another someHow go wrong. Maybe I liked it because it seemed to give voice to my conviction that life was one long socially awkward moment someHow spread out over time by God! For all the angst of the work-week stress, the cHorus Heralded the longed-for utopian alternative: Just another Manic Monday; wish it were Sunday: That’s my fun day.

  • Neue Wache (1818-1993) Since 1993 in the Federal Republic of Germany the Berlin Neue Wache Has Served As a Central Memorial Comm
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI 2011, No 1 ZbIGNIEw MAZuR Poznań NEUE WACHE (1818-1993) Since 1993 in the Federal Republic of Germany the berlin Neue wache has served as a central memorial commemorating the victims of war and tyranny, that is to say it represents in a synthetic gist the binding German canon of collective memo- ry in the most sensitive area concerning the infamous history of the Third Reich. The interior decor of Neue wache, the sculpture placed inside and the commemorative plaques speak a lot about the official historical policy of the German government. Also the symbolism of the place itself is of significance, and a plaque positioned to the left of the entrance contains information about its history. Indeed, the history of Neue wache was extraordinary, starting as a utility building, though equipped with readable symbolic features, and ending up as a place for a national memorial which has been redesigned three times. Consequently, the process itself created a symbolic palimpsest with some layers completely obliterated and others remaining visible to the eye, and with new layers added which still retain a scent of freshness. The first layer is very strongly connected with the victorious war of “liberation” against Na- poleonic France, which played the role of a myth that laid the foundations for the great power of Prussia and then of the later German Empire. The second layer was a reflection of the glorifying worship of the fallen soldiers which developed after world war I in European countries and also in Germany. The third one was an ex- pression of the historical policy of the communist-run German Democratic Republic which emphasized the victims of class struggle with “militarism” and “fascism”.

  • The Cost of Memorializing: Analyzing Armenian Genocide Memorials and Commemorations in the Republic of Armenia and in the Diaspora
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Uopen Journals Copyright: © The Author(s). Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 The Cost of Memorializing: Analyzing Armenian Genocide Memorials and Commemorations in the Republic of Armenia and in the Diaspora Sabrina Papazian HCM 7: 55–86 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.534 Abstract In April of 1965 thousands of Armenians gathered in Yerevan and Los Angeles, demanding global recognition of and remembrance for the Armenian Genocide after fifty years of silence. Since then, over 200 memorials have been built around the world commemorating the vic- tims of the Genocide and have been the centre of hundreds of marches, vigils and commemorative events. This article analyzes the visual forms and semiotic natures of three Armenian Genocide memorials in Armenia, France and the United States and the commemoration prac- tices that surround them to compare and contrast how the Genocide is being memorialized in different Armenian communities. In doing so, this article questions the long-term effects commemorations have on an overall transnational Armenian community. Ultimately, it appears that calls for Armenian Genocide recognition unwittingly categorize the global Armenian community as eternal victims, impeding the develop- ment of both the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian diaspora. Keywords: Armenian Genocide, commemoration, cultural heritage, diaspora, identity, memorials HCM 2019, VOL. 7 Downloaded from Brill.com10/05/202155 12:33:22PM via free access PAPAZIAN Introduction On 24 April 2015, the hundredth anniversary of the commencement of the Armenian Genocide, Armenians around the world collectively mourned for and remembered their ancestors who had lost their lives in the massacres and deportations of 1915.1 These commemorations took place in many forms, including marches, candlelight vigils, ceremo- nial speeches and cultural performances.

  • Modernism in Bartholomew County, Indiana, from 1942
    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 MODERNISM IN BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, INDIANA, FROM 1942 Page 1 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION This National Historic Landmark Theme Study, entitled “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana from 1942,” is a revision of an earlier study, “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana, 1942-1999.” The initial documentation was completed in 1999 and endorsed by the Landmarks Committee at its April 2000 meeting. It led to the designation of six Bartholomew County buildings as National Historic Landmarks in 2000 and 2001 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen, 1942; NHL, 2001), the Irwin Union Bank and Trust (Eero Saarinen, 1954; NHL, 2000), the Miller House (Eero Saarinen, 1955; NHL, 2000), the Mabel McDowell School (John Carl Warnecke, 1960; NHL, 2001), North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen, 1964; NHL, 2000) and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese, 1965; NHL, 2000). No fewer than ninety-five other built works of architecture or landscape architecture by major American architects in Columbus and greater Bartholomew County were included in the study, plus many renovations and an extensive number of unbuilt projects. In 2007, a request to lengthen the period of significance for the theme study as it specifically relates to the registration requirements for properties, from 1965 to 1973, was accepted by the NHL program and the original study was revised to define a more natural cut-off date with regard to both Modern design trends and the pace of Bartholomew County’s cycles of new construction.

  • THE WORLD of LAFAYETTE SQUARE Sites Around the Square
    THE WORLD OF LAFAYETTE SQUARE Lafayette Square is a seven-acre public park located directly north of the White House on H Street between 15th and 17th Streets, NW. The Square and the surrounding structures were designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1970. Originally planned as part of the pleasure grounds surrounding the Executive Mansion, the area was called "President's Park". The Square was separated from the White House grounds in 1804 when President Jefferson had Pennsylvania cut through. In 1824, the Square was officially named in honor of General Lafayette of France. A barren common, it was neglected for many years. A race course was laid out along its west side in 1797, and workmen's quarters were thrown up on it during the construction of the White House in the 1790s. A market occupied the site later and, during the War of 1812, soldiers were encamped there. Lafayette Park has been used as a zoo, a slave market, and for many political protests and celebrations. The surrounding neighborhood became the city's most fashionable 19th century residential address. Andrew Jackson Downing landscaped Lafayette Square in 1851 in the picturesque style. (www.nps.gov) Historian and novelist Henry Adams on Washington, D.C. 1868: “La Fayette Square was society . one found all one’s acquaintances as well as hotels, banks, markets, and national government. Beyond the Square the country began. No rich or fashionable stranger had yet discovered the town. No literary of scientific man, no artist, no gentleman without office or employment has ever lived there.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events.
