Commemorating Dr. King’s soaring speech
and the 1963 March on Washington.
History has consciously inclined today’s leaders to respectfully reckon with their decisions; knowing that their actions will become the foundation to build their legacies, like Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial for instance. Furthermore, history have provided paths wherein one can travel back in time to examine, discuss, and analyze events and decisions that have shaped legacies. Leaders were compelled by a need to not only prove they existed, but also of their desired demand to be remembered. Monuments, testaments, and the persisted interest of historians and scholars have forever helped to shape the legacies of leaders.
Structures of such wonder continue to astound vast descendants worldwide. It is not strange for people to travel around the globe to experience the magnitude of such legacy as colossal monuments continue to remind the world of past events. Leaders were determined legacy builders; historians, scholars of history have obliged their eternal hope to be remembered through careful painstaking search; they have sought, excavated, and analyzed tangible artifacts of history and have pieced them together like a lifelike puzzle that continues to resurrect their legacies in the minds of readers.
Truly history has detailed the difference of each leader and outlined how each period of history was built upon the leaders’ personal belief in culture, religion, and government. To conclude, the grandeur monuments and epics have created many perceptions that will never be erased from history, and will forever be viewed as monumental legacies of their leadership.
