Liberty Memorial Association Formed
Just over a month after the First World War ends with an armistice, Mayor James Cowgill and the city council propose a committee to consider a grand monument to memorialize the sacrifices for freedom made during the war. On December 16, 1919, the committee, led by real estate developer J.C. Nichols and lumber baron Robert A. Long, selects the name Liberty Memorial Association for itself.
