New memorial announced for victims of racist murders in Buffalo

A PERMANENT memorial honouring the 10 black victims of a racist mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket will feature interconnected stone pillars and arches, and a windowed building where exhibitions and events will be held, it was announced on Monday.

The design, Seeing Us, by Jin Young Song and Douglass Alligood, was revealed a day before the second anniversary of the attack. 

It was selected from among 20 submissions to the 5/14 Memorial Commission, which was established months after a white teenage gunman opened fire at a Tops supermarket on May 14 2022.
