Took a stroll by the beautify lit Irish Hunger Memorial in Battery Park last night.
A brief History about the memorial: The Irish Hunger Memorial, designed collaboratively by artist Brian Tolle, landscape architect Gail Wittwer-Laird, is devoted to raising public awareness of the events that led to the Great Irish Famine and Migration of 1845—1852. It's located on a one-half acre site in the Battery Park City neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It serves as a reminder to millions of New Yorkers and Americans who proudly trace their heritage to Ireland, of those who were forced to emigrate during one of the most heartbreaking tragedies in the history of the world.
