When the sunshine filters through the columns into Thomas Jefferson Memorial it lights up a polished bronze statue of the third president.
Thomas Jefferson played an important role in the founding of the United States and helped shape the American democracy that the world knows today.
The words of the Declaration of Independence, a document widely recognized as one of Jefferson’s most celebrated achievements, are written on the southwest wall of the memorial
Over time the monument and the landscape around it has evolved, as have our understanding of Thomas Jefferson as a person and president.
Today people come to The National Mall where the memorial stands to reflect on, negotiate, and reinterpret the foundations of American democracy and Thomas Jefferson’s legacy.
