The Memorial is an embrace.

In a single gesture, its landforms become healing arms protecting the inner memorial, where the story of January 8, 2011 is told.

Carved into the landscape of El Presidio Park,
the Memorial is a place of contemplation and reflection where visitors can honor the victims and survivors of this tragic event, who were there on that day to engage in democracy, and the first responders, who stopped the violence and saved lives.
