  • Owner: City of Pittsburgh
  • Memorial Plaque:
    ...This Memorial is positioned and shaped to capture sunlight. As the sun travels the horizon, columns of light articulate, sequentially, aspects of human spirit, experience and feelings. Through solid and void, light and shadow, the sun traces a spectrum of individual and shared experience.

    It is hoped this Memorial will become a welcome place; that it can evoke memory, emotion and vision through the eyes of each visitor. It is meant to be very personal.
