The Black Patriots Foundation is building the Black Patriots Revolutionary War/National Liberty Memorial on The Mall at 14th St. The up to $25-million project is aiming to start in October, pending approvals. The memorial includes a figural wall counterbalanced by a wall of black granite, designed in a reverse arc carrying inscriptions on the memorial’s theme. The two walls, gradually rising from additional features, will frame a teardrop-shaped paved plaza. The north wall, made of bronze, is to depict men, women and children. The south wall, made of granite, is to carry the etched words of black patriots that reflect their aspirations. Franck & Lohsen Architects is the architect.
