Thats facing all of the Museum Managers and people that are responsible for generating, producing, and collecting objects that would likely go into a museum sitting such as this is how much do we need to keep . How many things do we need to have to tell the american story and its the great conundrum of our protection. There are those who believe that maybe the time has come to start reducing the amounts of things we collect and be more judicious in how we collect them and what we collect. Is it inappropriate to use representative samples, say at an archaeological site, where things are left at the Vietnam Veterans memorial. Do we need to keep everything . And there are those in the professional field that think we need to keep everything and theres others who think sampling is the more judicious and longterm strategy.

Area of black assault boulders on which weve got 24,000 petroglyphs. The story of the National Monument isnt just about a single petroglyph or concentrations. It also includes the volcanic cones and the mesa top that spreads out towards albuquerque. The pueblo people would come up to the mesa top. We have evidence of them carrying water and farming. Sometimes they would send their children up here to keep the rabbits away from their crops. We see many ancient trails up here and this becomes part of a larger spiritual landscape thats important to most pueblo people.

Most of our 150,000 visitors stop here first. This is one of the first petroglyph that people who come to the monument might see. It is a carving on to the rock. Pueblo people would use stone chisels and hammered to peck, abrade, incise

Which was a state park until it went back to uncle sam again in 1890 to become part of Yosemite National park. At the turnofthecentury, she made a second effort, buying 9000 acres of redwood forest and created californias redwoods state park. Redwoods, the tall tapering giants of the tree world, are largely responsible for the fact that the golden state has a state park system, one of the finest in existence. During the world war, and extraordinary organization, the save the redwoods fleet, was brought into existence chiefly to save the Virgin Redwood forests along the coast of the state. Out of the work drove the movement for a series of parks to create liberal samples of the best of californias natural beauty. Three to one, california voted in 1929 to give 6 billion to parks. The bond required that if that 6 million has been spent, california has obtained mountain
About their experience during the holocaust one of the things i noticed repeatedly was people saying after they got out of the camps and after the camps were liberated, if they were liberated by the americans lets say were the british its not that was the end of the story but at least that would be the end of really imminent danger from a certain militant force. If they were liberated by the soviets its as if it was this whole other story of escape and danger that they had to go through and i started to learn about the soviet union and the sort of horrific evils committed by the soviets that began to complicate my own story of what it meant to be on the left and what it meant to have this legacy of communist Party Membership but its also during college that i started just sort of dipped my toe a little bit into activism so when i was at yale there were battles between university of frustration and the labor unions that represented the workers there and i got involved with what was call
