Dallas, TX – George W. Bush Presidential Center

Visiting presidential centers was never part of our plan, but having visited the Clinton one while in Little Rock, we figured it would be interesting to compare by vising the one for the younger Bush (43rd president).  There is of course a section dedicated to 9/11/2001, including a few badly bent beams that were taken from the World Trade Center ruins. There were also reminders that Bush believed strongly in diversity and inclusivity, something that felt like a stunning reminder of how quickly political discourse can shift in this country.
