PASADENA, Calif. - Pasadena will commemorate the Armenian genocide
of 1915 with a monument in Memorial Park.
The Los Angeles Times reports ( http://lat.ms/1aqloD4 ) the City
Council unanimously approved a design for the memorial, which will
include a stone water basin straddled by a tripod of three columns.
A single drop of water will fall from the highest point every three
seconds, with each "teardrop" representing one life lost.
The nonprofit Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee is raising
funds to erect the monument before the centennial observance of the
genocide in April 2015.
Organizers say Pasadena is a fitting home for the tribute because
the city was the first in Southern California to embrace Armenian
immigrants before and after the genocide.
The memorial was designed by Catherine Menard, a student at the Art
Center College of Design.
