How would you want Boston to memorialize Elma Lewis’ legacy? |

… I grew up with Ms. Lewis’ influence. I would say upgrade the current Museum of [the National Center of Afro] American Artists and bring back the art of black dance. |

Ms. Lewis is a legend. A section of [Franklin] Park should be dedicated to her because she started Playhouse in the Park. She was especially there for the youth. |

A statue in her image with a plaque with name and history [should be] put in Franklin Park, [where] Playhouse in the Park [is held]. |

Since I was a child, I wondered why they named streets the names they are. When someone looks up and sees Elma Lewis’ name, they’ll get a great story. |

I think you should memorialize her in the place where she had the greatest impact. |

Franklin Park should be dedicated to her in her honor. |

The only way to commemorate Ms. Lewis is for the Mayor of Boston to move forward with the museum-Arts complex that will bear the name of Alma Lewis. If the city does not respond, a private organization should step up and get the job done. |
