Remember Them: Champions for Humanity Silent Vigil

Open to the Public. No RSVP required

In Remembrance of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a Silent Vigil starting approximately at 5:45am to coincide with the same times the terrorist planes hit the World Trade Center. Also in part with the Remember Them: Champions for Humanity Unveiling & Dedication week, we will honor the 25 humanitarians in the monument who fought for justice and equality throughout their lives.

Remember Them: Champions for Humanity, a 501(c)3 nonprofit project in Oakland, California, is a world-class monument honoring 25 humanitarians and a corresponding K-12 educational curriculum. The largest bronze monument in the West, Remember Them will weigh more than 40,000 pounds, cover more than 1,000 square feet and measure 25 feet tall and 52 feet wide. The monument will be unveiled and dedicated Sept. 6-11, 2011, at The Henry J. Kaiser Memorial Park in Fox Square on 19th Street between Rashida Muhammad St. and Telegraph Ave. Make your tax-deductible donation today at www.remember-them.org.
