King's Chapel Memorial Project
Presentation On October 3
|
|
For the past several months members of the KC Memorial Project have been in communication with Mass Design Group, the firm which designed the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, in Montgomery Alabama, as well as the Gun Violence Memorial. Mass Design has strong ties to Boston as well as national and international experience in justice based design.
With the thought that Mass Design might be the best firm to engage to help us to move forward in our thinking as well as with the actual design work, we have asked them to make a public presentation to the KC membership outlining their experience with both physical and living memorials and including a discussion of how they might help us if they were to be engaged as consultants.
Their presentation is scheduled for October 3, either by Zoom or at a venue to be determined. Prior to this date we have also asked them to make a preliminary presentation to the members of the Memorial Committee so that we can preview the presentation and help them focus it on our specific concerns. This particular meeting will occur later this month. Once we finalize the program and meeting details we will share that information.
As we continue to move forward with this project we will provide updates and announcements as necessary. We continue to seek your prayers and your support as we do the difficult but also transformative work of acknowledging and learning from our history.
Dean Denniston, Chair, KC Memorial Committee
