Notes for a documentary on Daniel Chester French | Brent Leggs
Channel: Eduardo Montes-Bradley
Date: 16/12/2021

In conversation with Mr Brent Leggs of the​@savingplacesfor the documentary on Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the sitting Lincoln statue at The Lincoln Memorial. After the programmed on-camera interview, we went on the road to Union Station where Brent was to embark on a train bound for New York in a mission to save and preserve Langston Hughes home in Harlem. On the way, and free from the constraints of a formal interview he talked about his passion for preserving historic sites, and the need to let those sites tell their own stories.
