Abstract
In American Legion v. American Humanist Association the Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the presence of the Bladensburg Peace Cross situated on a public intersection in Bladensburg, Maryland. Residents of Prince George’s County, Maryland, had the cross erected to commemorate the 49 soldiers from their communities who died during World War I. The Court ruled that the display of the cross did not violate the Establishment Clause because while it is undeniably a Christian symbol, it was erected almost a century ago to honor the county’s war dead, it took on a special secular significance to community members.
