José Marti Medallion |
Lasting Fame
As we state, we only heard of José Marti through coming into possession of this fine medallion, which demonstrates that one way to achieve lasting fame is to be depicted on a coin or medallion, however from the medallion itself, we could not learn more about José himself, for this we needed the internet. We feel that this demonstrates the power of the internet to commemorate worthy individuals, and for this memorial to be flexible enough to grow and be updated perpetually.
We wonder whether, in future, the permanence of a gold medallion or the transience of the internet will have a greater power to carry reminders of the Great of previous generations?
