Workers Memorial Commons Foundation, Inc.

 

Workers Memorial Commons Foundation was established in June 22, 2007, to supervise design and construction of Workers Memorial Commons on the River Walk in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Workers Memorial Commons Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is managed by a volunteer staff.

Our goal is to build Workers Memorial Commons with in-kind services, donated construction materials and sponsorships from businesses, organizations and individuals. Workers Memorial Commons will be the first memorial built in Alabama that is not dedicated to a specific type of worker.

                  Central Sculpture

The bronze fifteen foot central sculpture supporting a section of I-beam from <em>Tower One </em>of the <em>World Trade Center</em> will be displayed in a negative edge reflective pool at the entrance of Workers Memorial Commons. The stylized bronze arms represent every worker killed or injured on the job including the 2749 people who were working and perished on September 11. The bronze arms extend upward out of the rubble illustrating the unrelenting drive to rise and rebuild time and time again.
