<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#E46C0A">Prof. Edward T. Linenthal</span></b><span style="color:#E46C0A">
</span><span style="color:black">is a professor of history at Indiana University, and the editor in chief of
<i>The Journal of American History</i>. Prof. Linenthal is one of the world's most eminent authorities on what memorializing our deceased heroes and other victims of violence tells us about ourselves. He is the author or co-author of many path-breaking works
on the memorializing of heroes and victims of violence, including <i>Sacred Ground: Americans and Their Battlefields</i> (1993),
<i>The Unfinished Bombing: Oklahoma City in American Memory</i> (2001) and, most recently,
<i>The Landscapes of 9/11: A Photographer’s Journey</i> (2013). Prof. Linenthal has done pioneering work on memorializing a wide range of traumatic events in the U.S.: 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Battle of Gettysburg, the assassination of JFK, the
Washington DC Holocaust Museum, and Gen. George Armstrong Custer and the Battle of Little Big Horn. Recently, he has begun consulting with the commission in Norway that is overseeing the memorializing of the 22 July 2011 bombing and shootings that left more
than seventy people dead and scores wounded.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
