Monuments and Memory-Making immerses students in the conversations
and controversies that emerged as the nation grappled with how best
to memorialize what was at the time the longest military conflict
in US history. As students engage in the historical process of
memory-making, they will work to reconcile the varied and often
contradictory voices that rose up after the fall of Saigon.
Students will tackle questions such as How do we create a national
memory of the past? How do we reckon with a war that was widely
understood as a defeat for the United States? How do we remember
the dead while honoring the living? How do we reunite a fractured
nation? How do public opinion and public consciousness shape our
understanding of the past, and whose voices are privileged over
others? Working with primary and secondary sources, students will
take command of the subject matter as they immerse themselves in
their individual roles as historical actors in the debate of how
best to remember and honor American participation and sacrifice in
the Vietnam War.
