A Ship on the Mall: Tucson's USS Arizona Memorial at the University of Arizona
In honor of Memorial Day, we revisit a powerful conversation with David Carter, the visionary designer behind the USS Arizona Mall Memorial on the University of Arizona campus. This striking tribute—a life-size outline of the battleship’s deck and 1,177 medallions representing each life lost—serves as both a physical and emotional connection to one of the most pivotal moments in American history.
Originally aired in 2018, this episode includes never-before-shared audio that explores the memorial’s origins, its deeply personal research into the sailors and Marines who perished, and the effort to create a lasting educational experience for future generations.
From the symbolism of the ship’s outline to the stories of brothers, sons, and friends lost together, this is a reflection on sacrifice, remembrance, and the power of place.
