In November of 1997, Alexander made his first visit to the nation's capital, the city on the Potomac, Washington, D.C. Alexander was able to look beyond Washington's reputation of scandal, greed, corruption, and partisan bickering. He saw the stone and marble monuments that glorify the idea of Washington, and of America. However imperfect, America is a land where freedom rings -- the freedom to speak, to worship, and to assemble. These thoughts and many more rushed through Alex's head as he and his father stood atop Capitol Hill (left). We can see Alexander proudly saluting the purple mountains, the amber waves of grain, and his favorite kind of cheese -- American cheese! |
