There are hundreds of monuments and memorials in the Washington, DC Metro area - many of which have themes related to war and peace. Some are known throughout the world and others are unknown even to locals. Several are on the National Mall but many others are elsewhere. Some have been here for well over one hundred and fifty years and others are relatively new. How well do you know them?

Join us for an online/virtual tour and discussion of some of the more notable and interesting Washington, DC monuments and memorials that have themes of war and/or peace.

Our program takes place on the 79th anniversary of the U.S. involvement in World II (December 7, 1941) and will include information on some of Washington, DC's newest memorials including the National World War I Memorial, the National Native Americans Veterans Memorial, and the Eisenhower Memorial.

This is a special two-hour program with a five-minute intermission.

Your host for this program is Robert Kelleman, the founder/director of the non-profit community organization Washington, DC History & Culture. Robert earned an art history degree from the University of Michigan, spent the first two years of his career at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and has visited numerous museums and historical sites and throughout the world.

Washington, DC History & Culture: bringing people together to experience the history and culture of Washington, DC.
