One building that captures your attention quickly in #Buffalo is City Hall. Built between 1929-31, it is an #ArtDeco masterpiece. Located in #NiagaraSquare, an obelisk dedicated to the memory of President #WilliamMcKinley (who was assassinated in Buffalo) sits in the park in front of the building. An observation tower at City Hall was not quite ready for public visitors yet when I was there, but should be open now. #architecture #art #history 🦬 (at Buffalo City Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3-lC6McpU/?utm_medium=tumblr

My favorite monument at Antietam is dedicated to the young William McKinley, years before he became President. What did McKinley do at Antietam to deserve a monument? As the inscription says, he served the troops “coffee and warm food.” You can see him depicted in the plaque doing just that. #williammckinley #presidentmckinley #coffee #warmfood #antietam https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjdObwlxL6/?igshid=1lq1ytwxmqt4b

The majority of voices that were assassinated because they were trying to make a difference were air signs 🤔 SPEAK UP. Air signs harness more energy then we use and we gotta tap in ~~~ #jfk #abrahamlincoln #ghandi #donaldtrump #williammckinley just to name a few.

Today in History

In 1901, Twenty-fifth president of the U.S., William McKinley, died #onthisdate after an assassination attempt on September 6, by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. Initially, McKinley seemed to improve, but doctors had only cleaned and closed the abdominal wound, being unable to find the bullet. Ironically, an early version of the X-ray machine was being exhibited at the Pan-American Exposition (the scene of the shooting), and may have saved his life had it been used. Over the next several days, gangrene crept through his stomach, pancreas, and a kidney. Only six months into his second term, McKinley died, and was succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt.
