After the recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, I feel as though we should memorialize the section of 4th St. SE that was devastatingly impacted by the terrorist events held in our city on August 12, 2017.

4th St. SE should be closed to traffic as are various other streets that conjoin with the Historic Downtown Mall. It would be devastating to see cars driving normally at the location where a beautiful soul lost her life, fighting for modern civil rights. The memorial can become a place of mourning and thought for current and future residents and/or visitors of Charlottesville for the lost lives as well as those injured and affected by the attack.
