This website grew out of &#8220;Commemoration, Crisis, and Revolution in the City,&#8221; an undergraduate course in American Studies, Architecture, History, and Urban Studies that studied the intersections of commemoration, heritage, urban redevelopment, and memory and a partnership with the New Jersey Historical Commission. Students were tasked with undertaking original research of a commemorative site, monument, or institution in the region in and around Princeton.
