The memorial is a place to read a pivotal political event into the former Canal Zone landscape. Its columns represent the people killed in the 1964 protests, while the flagstaff base fixes the story to this ground. Pairing it with nearby canal administration landmarks makes the changing relationship between Panama and the Canal Zone more legible.
