May 25 FDR Memorial

We walked briskly around the tidal basin and the flight of a great blue heron to the FDR memorial. We were completely impressed by the art, the words, and the accessibility. The artists chose to depict FDR in his wheelchair instead of hiding this fact as was often the case in his life. The word "Patience" was also written in braille as were so many aspects of the memorial. The word "patience" also represents the Colrain Central 2010 travelers.
