SUMMARY:The Power of Memorials and Public Art: Complex Histories and Legacies Today
DESCRIPTION:<p>	 </p><p>	Join Facing History &amp; Ourselves for a special community event celebrating Boston’s newest memorial, The Embrace. This memorial, dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, is located on Freedom Plaza where the names of local civil rights activists are honored. This convening will examine the myriad ways that monuments and memorials can help shape future generations’ understanding of history. Together we will explore how artists and communities make choices about what aspects of a particular history are told, and how monuments and memorials can inspire activism and justice.  </p><p>	The event will begin with a visit to The Embrace for those who wish to view it in person, before heading to the Boston Park Plaza for a conversation with Eve L. Ewing, L'Merchie Frazier, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis, and Michael Murphy.</p><p>	 </p><p>	<a data-url="https://www.facinghistory.org/learning-events/power-memorials-public-art-complex-histories-legacies-today" href="https://www.facinghistory.org/learning-events/power-memorials-public-art-complex-histories-legacies-today" title="">Click here for more information. </a></p>
