For those we remember
Unable are the loved to die
for love is immortality
nay, it is deity -
unable they that love - to die
for love reforms vitality
into divinity
-Emily Dickinson
On a beautiful late Spring morning in 2013 the reckless
demolition of a neighborhood building collapsed a wall onto
the Salvation Army store that stood on this site.
This memorial park is dedicated to the memory of the six people
who died here on June 5, 2013. They were from all walks of life,
and each was uniquely precious to their family, friends and
community. The memorial park also remembers those who were
injured, and honors the rescuers.
The June 5 Memorial Park is made possible by the generosity
of private citizens and the City of Philadelphia. It challenges
the residents and leaders of Philadelphia to remember what
happened here and to always value human life above development.
