While reading some of the monuments pieces I felt as if each of them had something that they
needed to prove. For example, for the Tate piece felt the need to expose what history has done to
people. Each level exposed how much each person was taken advantage of in service of someone
else. For the rumors of war piece exposed the whole idealism of the past resurrecting a past historical
leader to make sure that the event does not happen again. The Bracero monument exposed all of the
work that the people of that time had done in order to make sure that not another person is taken
advantage of again. But truth be told, all of these monuments have come with some sort of backlash.
The bracero monument had gotten criticism for stating that the braceros were free to do what they
wished. From what the article had stated that was not the truth. It was merely one persons
interpretation of what a bracero was, but did not describe the whole experience. For you cannot
describe one entire experience in a monument without having it be interactive. Those are just my
thoughts.
