There are different kinds of monuments,...
,...

Some are made of wood or stone,...

Others of marble or granite,...

Some on paper or in gold,...

However, the greatest monument to humanity are the leaps that required bounds of commitment to equality.

The only monument I have, to hold onto, is the monument made up of all those who are/were willing to bind themselves to the commitment of equality. Teddy is an element in that monument, a spectacularly colorful one, along with those before and after him. I imagine the monument of equality to be something beyond all our dreams, in spite of our impatient awaiting and expectation.

I imagine WE are the monument of Teddy's dreams.

There are different kinds of monuments.
