The Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation today announced the formation of a White House Press Secretaries Committee in support of the Fallen Journalists Memorial. The committee, which is co-chaired by former White House Press Secretaries Dee Dee Myers (President Bill Clinton) and Dana Perino (President George W. Bush) includes former White House Press Secretaries dating from the Johnson to Biden administrations.
The committee serves as a bipartisan voice in support of a permanent public memorial dedicated to press freedom as it honors journalists and photojournalists who have lost their lives while in pursuit of truth. The memorial will be built at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and is in the early design stages.
In addition to the Co-Chairs, members of the White House Press Secretaries Committee includes: Bill Moyers (President Lyndon B. Johnson), Ron Nessen (President Gerald R. Ford), Marlin Fitzwater (President George H.W. Bush), Mike McCurry, Joe Lockhart, and Jake Siewert (President Bill Clinton), Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan (President George W. Bush), Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney, and Josh Earnest (President Barack Obama), Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham, and Kayleigh McEnany (President Donald Trump), and Jen Psaki (President Joe Biden).
The Annenberg Foundation is proud to be a seed funder for this powerful monument, dedicated to fallen journalists and photojournalists.
