"Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have offered hope and refuge for immigrants looking to begin new lives. This park is a gift to the people of the Commonwealth and the City of Boston from the Armenian-American community of Massachusetts.
The sculpture is offered is offered in honor of the one and one-half million victims of the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923. May it serve in remembrance of all genocides that have followed, and celebrate the diversity of communities that have re-formed in the safety of these shores."
On the last photo: Siranush Babakhanova and Teni Apelian, a star of Armenian acapella (check out the amazing Zulal Trio if you haven't yet!) is an indirect MITAS member. Her father, her brother in law and her husband are all MIT graduates! We can't wait to have a chance to hear her amazing voice on a scene at MIT!
