The twisted metal spire was once an antenna that stood atop one of the Twin Towers and serves as a somber reminder of 9/11 in Washington’s Newseum. The wall behind the antenna is adorned with the front pages of newspapers around the world that featured stores from the fateful day. The wall on the right features various messages from citizens that were inspired to take action after the terror attack. Photo by Spencer Kosior

This tower looms as one of the focal points of Washington D.C.’s Newseum. Towers such as this, garrisoned with Communist soldiers, line the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. These towers kept watch for any citizens attempting to escape from the atrocities of East Berlin to the safety of West Berlin. Photo by Spencer Kosior
