The Washington Monument Reopens - A Symbol of Resilience and Unity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Sarah Silbiger, the iconic shadow of the Washington Monument stretches across the lush green lawn of the National Mall. Taken from atop the very monument it represents, this image captures a historic moment in time - September 18,2019. After more than three years of extensive construction and repairs, The Washington Monument is set to reopen its doors to visitors on Thursday, September 19. This long-awaited event marks a significant milestone for both locals and tourists alike who have eagerly awaited their chance to once again admire this symbol of American history. Standing tall at an impressive height of 555 feet, the monument has witnessed countless chapters in America's story since its completion in 1884. From presidential inaugurations to civil rights marches, it has stood as a silent witness to moments that have shaped our nation. Silbiger's photograph beautifully encapsulates not only the physical grandeur but also the enduring spirit embodied by this national treasure. Its shadow stretching out onto the lawn serves as a metaphorical reminder that even during times when access was restricted due to necessary renovations, its presence remained steadfast - an unwavering symbol of resilience and unity. As visitors flock back through its doors after years away, they will be greeted with renewed awe and appreciation for this remarkable structure that stands as a testament to America's past while inspiring hope for its future.
