Woodrow Wilson Memorial Hallway Washington DC | WASHINGTON D.C., États-Unis — citations de Woodrow Wilson bordent un couloir incurvé au Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, le mémorial officiel de la nation au 28e président. Le Congrès a établi le centre en 1968 comme un « mémorial vivant », favorisant une institution savante en cours plutôt qu'une statue ou un monument traditionnel. Un portrait en relief en bronze de Wilson ponctue le mur de calcaire inscrit entre les passages tirés de ses discours.

Informations supplémentaires

The Memorial Hallway at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars forms the centerpiece of the official national memorial to Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States, who served from 1913 to 1921. Rather than a statue or monument, Congress chose in 1968, under the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Act (Public Law 90-637), to honor Wilson with a "living institution" that continues his legacy as scholar, university president, and advocate for international cooperation. The center occupies a wing of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center at 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, the second-largest federal building in the country after the Pentagon, where it relocated in 1998 after three decades in temporary Washington quarters. This curved corridor is inscribed with excerpts from Wilson's speeches, including passages on democracy, sacrifice, and the founding of the League of Nations, alongside a bronze relief portrait bearing his name and life dates, 1856 to 1924. Wilson held a doctorate in political science and served as president of Princeton University before entering politics, credentials the memorial's scholarly mission was designed to reflect. The center today hosts roughly 160 fellows annually and publishes the Wilson Quarterly, fulfilling the 1968 statute's vision of linking scholarship to public affairs. Photograph by David Coleman.
