Situated in front of historic Union Station in Washington, D.C, it features a globe on top of a monument surrounded by figures, including that of a Native American, representing the Old and the New worlds; a statue of Columbus is in the center, and the following inscription appears on the back of the monument: “To the memory of Christopher Columbus, whose high faith and indomitable courage gave to mankind a new world.” After researching the background of and funding for this monument, write an essay arguing for or against its worth as part of the Washington, D.C., landscape.
