ARMENIAN MEMORIAL PLANS OUTLINED
The Boston Globe

THIRD EDITION
July 7. I’d like to make sure Globe readers understand some facts
about our plans for this important space.
The park is a gift from the Armenian-American community to the people
of Greater Boston, the Commonwealth, and all who visit here. We have
not and will not seek public funds for the design, construction,
or upkeep of the park.
Parcel 13 is roughly a half acre. The vast majority of this space
will be open lawn, trees, benches, and a labyrinth of inlaid stones.
The design includes a geometric sculpture on a 225-square-foot
reflecting ng pool. The sculpture would represent all immigrant groups
who have left their countries of origin and reestablished here in
new and different configurations.
We have also established a $500,000 endowment for an annual lecture
series at Faneuil Hall on human rights, in cooperation with the
Bostonian Society.
We loook forward to being a small part of the renaissance of Boston’s
waterfront and downtown made possible by the Central Artery Project.
