Visualization
The bronze plaque would be centered on the podium’s lectern and describe the story of Elma Lewis and her accomplishments in relief.
The stone podium would, on the one hand, entice viewers to approach and read the plaque itself. On the other hand, the podium would present an opportunity for interaction and performance on the part of the visitor. This suggested memorial would connect with Elma Lewis’ passion for performance and her desire to empower others. Community members and visitors alike would be encouraged to use the podium as a site for activism, sharing, and exhibition.
