We look at memorials. Kurt Andersen and poet Donald Hall discuss the human desire to make present what has been lost. They find joyful and sad memorials, in music, in poetry, and in totem poles.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
