Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial

Het Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is een monument in de Amerikaanse hoofdstad Washington D.C. ter ere van Martin Luther King, baptistendominee, politiek leider, een van de boegbeelden van de Amerikaanse burgerrechtenbeweging tegen de rassenscheiding en winnaar van de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede. King was de eerste Afro-Amerikaan, en pas de vierde niet-president die geëerd wordt met een nationaal gedenkteken op of bij de National Mall. Het monument bevindt zich in West Potomac Park, ten zuidwesten van het Washington Monument en de rest van de National Mall. Het ligt aan de noordwestelijke oever van het Tidal Basin dicht bij het Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. Het ligt pal op de lijn die getrokken kan worden tussen twee van de grootste monumenten in het gebied, Lincoln Memorial in het noordwesten en Jefferson Memorial in het zuidoosten. Het officieel adres van het monument is 1964 Independence Avenue, S.W. waarmee met 1964 het jaar van de Civil Rights Act of 1964 wordt herdacht. Het 9,1 m hoge standbeeld Stone of Hope is een beeltenis van King, uitgevoerd door de beeldhouwer Lei Yixin die oprijst uit een stenen blok. Het is een verbeelding van een van de uitspraken van King tijdens de I Have a Dream speech: ""Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Bezoekers van het monument gaan eerst door een opening in de Mountain of Despair, twee andere granietblokken, om het beeld te bereiken. Bij het 1,6 hectare grote gebied waarop het monument staat hoort ook een Inscription Wall, een lange muur waarop 14 fragmenten uit Kings speeches, preken en geschriften staan waaruit zijn streven naar gerechtigheid, democratie, hoop en liefde blijkt. De quotes en hun datum zijn: Het monument werd op 22 augustus 2011 geopend na meer dan twintig jaar planning, geldinzameling en constructie. Een openingsplechtigheid was voorzien voor zondag 28 augustus 2011, een symbolische datum en de 48ste verjaardag van de "I Have a Dream" speech die King gaf van op de trappen van Lincoln Memorial op 28 augustus 1963. De doortocht van orkaan Irene maakte deze viering evenwel niet mogelijk. Een nieuwe symbolische datum werd gezocht en gevonden in 16 oktober 2011, de 16de verjaardag van de slotbijeenkomst van de Million Man March die op de National Mall werd gehouden op 16 oktober 1995. Sprekers waren onder meer Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, Andrew Young, Al Sharpton en zoon Martin Luther King III. Muzikaal werd het evenement opgeluisterd door onder meer Aretha Franklin en Stevie Wonder. Het standbeeld is niet het eerste standbeeld voor een Afro-Amerikaans persoon in Washington D.C., dat is een standbeeld van Mary McLeod Bethune in Lincoln Park. Het is wel het eerste standbeeld voor een zwarte Amerikaan op of bij de National Mall. De drie andere niet-presidenten die er geëerd worden zijn George Mason, John Ericsson en Amerikaans marinegezagvoerder John Paul Jones.

Mémorial Émancipation

Le mémorial Émancipation (en anglais Emancipation Memorial, également connu sous le nom de Freedman’s Memorial ou Emancipation Group), et parfois appelé le Lincoln Memorial avant la réalisation de l'imposant monument situé devant le Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool faisant partie du National Mall, est un monument situé dans Lincoln Park dans le quartier de Capitol Hill de Washington, D.C.. Conçu et sculpté par Thomas Ball et érigé en 1876, le monument représente Abraham Lincoln dans son rôle du « grand émancipateur » libérant un esclave Afro-Américain. Archer Alexander (en), un ancien esclave noir, aurait servi de modèle. L'esclave est représenté sur un genou, avec un poing fermé, torse nu et enchaîné aux pieds du président. À l'origine, le monument faisait face à l'ouest en direction du Capitole jusqu'à ce qu'il ait été tourné dans la direction opposée, en 1974, afin de faire face au mémorial Mary McLeod Bethune, nouvellement érigé. Controverse Le monument a longtemps été l'objet de controverses. Selon les informations de l'American University : « S'il y a un monument sur l'esclavage dont les origines politiques sont incontestables, c'est le mémorial de Freedman. Le processus de développement de ce mémorial a commencé immédiatement après l'assassinat d'Abraham Lincoln et a pris fin à la fin de la reconstruction en 1876. À bien des égards, il illustre et traduit les espoirs, les rêves, la recherche, et les échecs ultimes de reconstruction. » En dépit d'avoir été payé par les Afro-Américains, l'historien Kirk Savage a condamné l’œuvre en 1997 comme «...un monument perpétuant l'idéologie raciste» en raison de la position suppliante et inférieure de l'esclave représenté. L’œuvre fait partie du groupe des monuments de la guerre de Sécession présents à Washington, et est inscrite au Registre national des lieux historiques.

Emancipation Memorial

L'Emancipation Memorial, noto anche come Freedman’s Memorial o Emancipation Group e talvolta denominato "Lincoln Memorial" prima che venisse costruito l'omonimo Lincoln Memorial a perenne commemorazione, è un monumento situato al Lincoln Park nel quartiere di Capitol Hill della capitale degli Stati Uniti d'America Washington. Progettato e scolpito da Thomas Ball ed eretto nel 1876, raffigura il 16° presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America Abraham Lincoln nel suo ruolo di "Grande emancipatore" mentre libera uno schiavo afroamericano maschio modellato da Archer Alexander. L'ex schiavo è raffigurato su un ginocchio, con un pugno chiuso, a torso nudo e incatenato ai piedi del presidente. La statua originariamente si affacciava ad Ovest verso il Campidoglio fino a quando fu girata in direzione Est nel 1974 per poter mettersi di fronte al nuovo memoriale appena innalzato in onore a Mary McLeod Bethune. L'opera è stata a lungo oggetto di controversie. Secondo le informazioni della American University: Se c'è un monumento sullo schiavismo le cui origini sono altamente politiche, il memoriale del Freedman è proprio questo. Il processo di sviluppo di questo memoriale iniziò immediatamente dopo l'assassinio di Abraham Lincoln e terminò, abbastanza appropriatamente, verso la fine dell'Era della Ricostruzione nel 1876. Sotto molti aspetti, esemplificò e rifletté le speranze, i sogni, l'impegno e i fallimenti definitivi della ricostruzione. Nonostante sia stato pagato dagli afroamericani lo storico Kirk Savage nel 1997 lo ha condannato come "un monumento radicato e perpetuante l'ideologia del razzismo" a causa della posizione supplicante e inferiore della figura nera. La statua è uno dei memoriali e monumenti unionisti che contribuisce al ricordo della guerra di secessione americana a Washington D.C.; è parte del National Register of Historic Places.

Embassy Building No. 10

Embassy Building No. 10 is a historic building located at 3149 16th Street NW Washington, D.C., in the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Although as the name implies it was built to be a foreign mission, it was never in fact used as such; instead, it served as the central office of the District's municipal parks department for nearly seventy years. History The Renaissance Revival building was designed in 1928 by George Oakley Totten Jr., and constructed by Mary Foote Henderson in 1929–1930 as part of her attempt to create a new Embassy Row "in the vicinity of Meridian Hill Park and Mount Pleasant". She died in 1931 and, perhaps due to "the onset of the Depression as well as the failure of Henderson's heirs to pursue her business interests", the building never became an embassy. It was vacant for several years, then became a residence and boarding house during the late Depression. In 1940, Embassy Building No. 10 became the headquarters of what is now the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986. Although the ways in which the building responds to its site make up a part of its National Register nomination — "The symmetry of the facade belies the actual form and plan, designed for the wedge-shaped lot situated in the acute angle formed by the intersection of Lament and Sixteenth Streets, N.W." — the context has been lost: at some point, the section of Lamont Street adjacent to the building was closed, consolidated with the property immediately to the north, and turned into a parking lot and playground. In 2012, the DC DPR moved "its central office operations…to two new location"s in order to "provid[e] a better working environment for DPR employees, and a place to better serve customers" than was possible in the aging building. In 2020, the Junior Achievement of Greater Washington organization, sought approval from the Historic Preservation Review Board to add an auditorium clad in limestone.

Embassy of Afghanistan, Washington, D.C.

The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in Washington, D.C. (Pashto: د افغانستان اسلامي جمهوری سفارت; Dari: سفارت جمهوری اسلامی افغانستان) was the primary diplomatic mission of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to the United States. The building is located at 2341 Wyoming Avenue N.W. in Washington, D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood. The chancery is built in the Colonial Revival style. Location Consular offices were located at 2233 Wisconsin Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., as well as in New York City and Los Angeles. From 1944 to 1963, the embassy was located at 2001 24th Street NW. The structure was built by Judge Edwin B. Parker in 1926, and designed by prominent D.C. architect Nathan C. Wyeth. Shutdowns In 1997, the embassy was closed by the United States due to a clash between the chargé d'affaires and an embassy deputy. The chargé d'affaires, Yar M. Mohabbat, represented the Islamic State of Afghanistan led by Burhanuddin Rabbani and Ahmad Shah Massoud. The embassy deputy, Seraj Wardak Jamal, revolted against Mohabbat and pledged allegiance to the Taliban, who had recently captured Kabul and ousted Rabbani and Massoud. The United States decided to temporarily suspend operations at the embassy because there was "no effective government in Afghanistan." Following the 2021 fall of Kabul to the Taliban and the dissolution of the Islamic Republic in August 2021, the embassy and consulates remained in operation independently. Due to funding freezes related to sanctions, the Afghan diplomatic missions encountered financial issues, with many diplomats going unpaid for months. The final Afghan ambassador to the U.S. was Adela Raz, who resigned in February 2022 after the U.S. State Department made moves to severely limit the activities of Afghan diplomats, according to Deputy Ambassador Abdul Hadi Nijrabi. In March 2022, the State Department announced that the embassy and consulates would close by the end of the month, and diplomats would have thirty days to apply for residency or humanitarian parole, with one-fourth of the 100 diplomatic staff in the United States not having applied yet. The State Department said it would maintain the properties until the missions could resume operations. The embassy and consulates closed on March 16, and all diplomatic and consular activities ceased. In a statement, the embassy claimed it had requested assistance from the State Department due to its financial challenges, and it had agreed to a suggestion by the department to transfer custody of the properties in accordance with the Vienna Convention. The flag of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan will remain hoisted at the facilities. The embassy and consulates were the first diplomatic missions of Afghanistan to close in the aftermath of the Taliban takeover. The Afghan embassy in Canada took over responsibilities for providing services to Afghan nationals in the United States.

Embassy of Argentina, Washington, D.C.

The Embassy of Argentina in Washington, D.C. is the Argentine Republic's diplomatic mission to the United States. It is located at 1600 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C. The current Ambassador of Argentina to the USA is Alec Oxenford. Chancery Located in the neighborhood of Dupont Circle and commissioned in 1906 by Pennsylvania Congressman George Franklin Huff, the mansion at 1600 New Hampshire Avenue NW was designed by Julian Abele (1881–1950), the first African-American graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's architecture program, when he was working with Horace Trumbauer. Huff was a delegate to the 1880 Republican National Convention, and member of the Pennsylvania State Senate (1884–1888). In 1891, he was elected to the Fifty-second Congress and reelected for five more terms. Married to Henrietta Burrell, he and his wife were the parents of eight children. The Argentine Government purchased the building on February 20, 1913, from Henrietta Huff, who decided to sell the house after her husband's death in 1912. Julian Abele designed the Widener Library at Harvard University and several buildings for Duke University in North Carolina, mansions in Newport Rhode Island and New York as well as many buildings in Washington. The ballroom was added in the 1940s by another prominent architect, Clarke Waggaman, for the Embassy of Argentina. At the beginning of the 20th century Dupont Circle was an upscale suburb of Washington, and the Argentine Republic invested heavily given the importance put on bilateral relations with the U.S. The Argentine Government owns a total of four houses in the block: besides the Embassy's Chancery, the Sarmiento Building next to it housing the Consular Section of the Embassy, and the Ambassador's Official Residence, both of them on Q Street; the Argentine Permanent Mission to the Organization of American States, on Corcoran Street, was built as the horse quarters for the house on New Hampshire Avenue. In 2019 the Embassy included on its website a revamped section on the history of the building, the neighborhood and the architects. See also Argentina–United States relations References External links
