"More than 660,000 white flags have been displayed in a solemn tribute across a vast expanse on the National Mall in Washington, DC, each representing a life lost to the coronavirus pandemic in a heart-rending exhibit called “In America: Remember.” The 20-acre installation, which was unveiled Friday near the Washington Monument, is the second chilling exhibit that artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg said is based on a project trying to capture the “human dignity” behind the staggering death toll. As of Friday, 670,034 deaths, one of every 500 Americans, have been recorded in the US and more than 41,700,000 cases confirmed, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University. Visitors to the exhibit, which will last until Oct. 3, can stop at a table and personalize a flag with the name of a lost loved one."
