Three goals of placing the Harmony Grove Welcome Arch at this historical social justice amphitheater
and recreational oasis include
1) creating a place to reflect upon the history of the brave souls who participated in Anti-Slavery and Women’s Suffrage movements
2) stimulating further discussion to help instill liberty and justice for all
3) inspiring people to consider more ways to protect the fragile ecosystem at Farm Pond.
The virtual dedication will take place on the Downtown Framingham, Inc. live Facebook page at
https://www.facebook.com/DowntownFramingham/live/ at 10 a.m. EST on Sunday, May 30, which will
then be uploaded to the Downtown Framingham, Inc. YouTube channel.
