For many college students, the default assumption is that voting in our hometowns via mail-in ballot is our only option. This isn’t true. Despite being a Missourian with hot-button issues on the ballot back home, I am currently registered to vote in Kansas instead of my home state.

A Statue of Liberty in KC? See the other proposed designs for now iconic Liberty Memorial

Even before hostilities ended in Europe, the idea of a memorial dedicated to the soldiers who fought and perished during World War I was a popular one in Kansas City. As early as Nov. 6, 1918, well-known civic booster Joseph Meinrath penned a letter to The Kansas City Journal titled “Kansas City After the War: What Should Be Done Next?” On his laundry list of new civic buildings and public amenities delayed by the war, Meinrath included a new art museum, city hall, public drinking fountains, rest places, and “monuments or memorial halls dedicated to the men who have fought and are fighting the battles of the world for us, with appropriate and ample provisions for the relics of these times, to perpetuate their details and ideals.” The Journal agreed, adding on Nov. 9 that a memorial “must be beautiful and imposing enough not to allow its intrinsic beauty to fall below the cause for which it is meant and to fit into so beautiful a city.” In the weeks after the Nov. 11 Armistice, local business leaders and prominent citizens formed the Liberty Memorial Association to coordinate fundraising and planning.
