“We need a national memorial to gun violence. Now.”
Philip Kennicott | Washington Post | May 25, 2022
“There is already a Gun Violence Memorial Project, conceived by MASS Design Group and conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, which has been installed in Chicago and is now on view (through September) in Washington. It offers one very sensible possibility for what the new National Memorial might look like. It includes four, house-like structures made of glass bricks, with niches in which the families of gun-violence victims can place mementos of their lost loved ones. Scaled up to a necropolis, it could make the right impression, a modernist Hooverville of death in the shadow of our great national charnel house of inaction.”
National Building Museum Ceremony
Marking the closing of the memorial at its last location, the National Building Museum in Washington DC, family and team members gathered to honor their loved ones. The memorial will be traveling to Boston, MA in the summer of 2024.
