New Work: Left Behind: Mojave Memorial Cross

The Mojave Memorial Cross is located in the Mojave desert in CA. The cross was erected in 1934 to honor those killed in war. At one point the lower court ruled it was illegal due to constitutinal concers that separate church and state. In 2012 a land exchange made Sunrise Rock and the cross no longer a part of federal land and a rededication ceremony took place. Photo taken on February 19, 2022.
