Project Description
Taking into consideration the theme of the memorial and delicate planning of the oval space between the Library and Lyceum, and preserving some of the space for university gatherings, we propose the following solution to the project:

To emphasize the passageway that cuts across the oval connecting the Library and Lyceum, we will widen it and will place an artwork on both sides of the passageway. Two curves will run parallel to each other preserving a passage in-between. The shape of the curves and passageway enclosed between them will signify a stream of time. The curves will form free standing walls bearing mosaic artwork. The height of the walls will increase from 0’ at the ends up to 2-5 ft wave-like variations towards the center.

Mosaics on the walls will represent two different time periods. One wall will be dedicated to the struggle for equality of education and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The main message for this part of the project will be “Separate Cannot be Equal”. As a part of composition, we are planning on picturing individuals who fought for the equality of rights in Mississippi. The second part of the project will be dedicated to the present and the future. The panel will show the achievements that have been accomplished as the result of the struggle for civil rights.
