I feel that finding monuments may be a little hard for some or myself because there are so many to choose from. Another thing that may be challenging would be collaborating with other students to agree on one source we find relatable to the selected monument. My main goal for the assignment is to learn something new about whether monuments should stay or not. I plan to build up my understanding of the monument that I choose to evaluate. I have little to no knowledge of monuments in NYC. Some monuments near City Tech are the Christoper Columbus Statue/ Monument, Robert F. Kennedy Monument and Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. These are the closest and most popular in the given area. There are many more monuments else where  but given such short time, a closer monument would be a better choice for the project. The resources that I used so far was my prior knowledge and internet sources like Google and the NYC Parks website. I researched the Robert F. Kennedy Monument and I think he deserved a monument for his hard work. Examples of his work would be his history of being an attorney and later following his brother’s footsteps and becoming a president. He deserves to be memorialized because he was an activist, often called a carpetbagger. Robert F. Kennedy was a supporter of Civil War and didn’t deserve to be assassinated for his views and ideas. The significance of monument compared to now is that it demonstrates that not many support anyone who is a supporter of the other side of a controversial topic. For example, when Obama was president. Not many liked his views and how he wanted to help the poor and lower classmen. They saw him as a weak and  destructful president. What are your views and what did you come up with ?
