In Memoriam: Monuments Past, Present, Fallen and Future

Tobias is a current History major and a senior at W&M. He grew up right across the Potomac river in Mclean, Virginia, so he has been surrounded by monuments, museums, and physical representations of American history his whole life. After taking the Ethical Leadership course taught by former FBI director James Comey, Tobias has had some experience taking courses in DC, and thus knows just how interesting and impactful they can be. After almost two years of living and taking classes with an ongoing pandemic, the opportunity to physically be in DC to learn about the history of this country was too big of an opportunity to pass up on.
