The Complex Process of Creating Public Memorials
Creating public memorials involves a complex and inconsistent process, with no dedicated department for memorialization in the United States. The creation of memorials can involve various parties, including concerned citizens, nonprofits, and foundations, leading to activism and challenging conversations about design, location, and the stories the memorials should convey.

Ultimately, the discussions and contemplation surrounding memorials play a significant role in shaping collective memory and determining how communities want to remember and preserve cultural trauma for the future.
