August 19, 2007 · Leave a Comment

After reading Susan Crane’s article and thinking about the “Take Back the Memorial” website the idea of distortion definitley is an issue.
This article from New York Magazines follows the victims families who are against the International Freedom Center http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/sept11/features/15140/index3.html

The previous posts and especially the website “Take Back the Memorial” reminded me about the controversy regarding the The National Museum of the American Indian.
Two sites that are pretty interesting
