August
16 [was] the Dedication of the Eli Siegel Memorial in Druid Hill Park,
Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Siegel grew up in Baltimore. And that day,
the hundredth anniversary of his birth, was proclaimed "Eli Siegel Day"
in Baltimore by the city's mayor...and "Eli Siegel Day" in Maryland by
the state's governor....The speakers commented on the importance of Mr.
Siegel's thought for the fields of education, economics, and art; for the
solution to racism; for the understanding of love. It was clear to the
more than 200 people attending, including government representatives, that
something joyfully and grandly historic was taking place .>>
