PanARMENIAN.Net - In couple of years, Armenians all over the world
will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first genocide of
the 20th century when 1.5 million Armenians were massacred.
To keep the memory of 1.5 million Armenians alive, 166 memorial
monuments have been erected in 33 countries worldwide. Those who
erected the monuments want the history to stay alive and the people
of the world to be informed of that barbaric event.
The Armenian community in Pasadena wanted to bring their share in the
commemoration effort. The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee
has planned a very impressive memorial to be constructed in Pasadena
Memorial Park by 2015, with adequate informational inscriptions about
the genocide, PASAGMC said in a press release.
On July 16, 2013, the Recreation and Parks Commission unanimously
approved the proposed design by Catherine Menard, a student at the
Pasadena Art Center College of Design.
The City of Pasadena has scheduled the City Council hearing for
September 9 for the review and approval of the memorial design.
The PASAGMC asks the community members attend the City Council hearing
and show support of the proposed memorial project.
