If these statues are truly indicative of the city wanting to honor them, why wasn’t the family included in the plans?
To have it placed at the crowded plaza,of the Hughes Center and the Barnes Branch YMCA, doesn’t mean it will be noticed.
The city rushed to build the Barnes Branch Y at the next location, and once there reneged on the square footage.
For once, do the right thing. Listen to the families. Listen to tthe people who loved them and grew up with them. . Use 15th Street and Martin Luther King, Jr Blvd.
