Marshall Park Development Memorial Project

CHARLOTTE — Mecklenburg County commissioners were briefed on plans for a new memorial project in Marshall Park Tuesday night.

According to the county, the “Circle of Humanity: Monuments for Unity and Remembrance” will weave together the stories of the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement.

A new Holocaust memorial statue will be installed, and a gathering space will be created in between the new statue and the existing Martin Luther King Jr. Tribute.

The plan also includes new seating and information kiosks.
