WHEN AMERICA WAS GREAT

WHEN AMERICA WAS GREAT
The East Wing — once filled with laughter, history, and purpose — now lies demolished, despite promises it would stay untouched.
Photographer Pete Souza called it “a symbol of what’s happening to the country — tearing it down.”


He remembered what made it special:
Meeting heroes like the Tuskegee Airmen
Watching Lincoln in the Family Theater
Greeting Rachel Robinson


Laughing with Michelle Obama and her team
A place once full of grace, unity, and hope — now just a memory.
