Do you know who designed the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C.? I certainly didn't until my guest and work wife Stephanie was recalling an old school project on architect & designer Maya Lin. Intrigue sent me down a research path with a complicated, heartbreaking, and inspirational story that I couldn't wait to share with you all. Learn about Maya Lin the person, the designer, and why her design caused so much controversy in a polarized post-war America -- and why the 'cut in the earth' continues to be one of the most emotional war memorials that you'll visit in your lifetime.You can find the episode resources here. Start supporting the show for only $1/month, learn more here!
