RiverzEdge Program Director Designs MLK Memorial
Brad Fesmire, RiverzEdge's Program Director has designed a new MLK Memorial at the intersection of South Main and Mason St in Woonsocket. In honor of Martin Luther King Day, supporters hope to create a colorful memorial and mini-park at the island where the roads meet. Eye-catching silhouettes of Dr. King surrounded by several other brightly colored figures, along with park benches and improved landscaping are planned for the small area.
RiverzEdge was one of many collaborators to help make the memorial possible. Woonsocket Police Chief Carey worked with local officials to ensure the availability of the space, Margaux Morisseau, director of community building for NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley, applied for grant funding, provided by Citizens Bank Foundation, and The Rotary Club currently sponsors the project and will provide assistance during the process.
