In his final week in office, Joe Biden designated nearly 850,000 acres of federal land in California as two new national monuments, emphasizing his legacy as a land protector.
The Women's Suffrage National Monument will be the first on the National Mall honoring women, representing a significant breakthrough despite navigating intricate political challenges and existing restrictions.
Backed by two presidents and all six living first ladies, the women's monument encountered roadblocks but ultimately succeeded in the final hours of the 118th Congress.
The situation echoed historical moments like the women's suffrage fight, highlighting the importance of perseverance and advocacy in achieving monumental representation in American history.
