Connecting with History: From Crazy Horse to Pearl Harbor

Zee Michaelson Travel

Curious about the largest sculpture in the world that's still under construction? Join me as I recount my personal journey to the breathtaking Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We delve into the monument's astounding size and the historical significance of Crazy Horse, an Oglala Lakota chief. Along the way, we draw fascinating comparisons to the nearby Mount Rushmore, revealing why these two iconic landmarks are both similar and unique in their own right. This episode promises an enriching exploration of Native American heritage and the power of monumental art.
Get ready for an emotional ride as we explore America's poignant war memorials. First up, we'll reflect on the contemplative design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, designed by Maya Lin, and the touching additions that honor soldiers and nurses. Then, we shift our focus to the sobering Pearl Harbor National Memorial and its historical impact. This episode underscores the importance of historical education and cultural awareness, encouraging everyone, especially children, to visit these significant sites and learn about impactful historical figures. Embrace the power of travel to connect with different cultures, histories, and of course, delicious food. Join us and make your travel dreams come true!
As Zee Michaelson says, History is what it is we cannot ERASE it …we learn by it and move forward so that it doesn’t repeat itself…. Our great country has many monuments to visit and learn from…as you Rediscover America.
