LETTERS, Page 6Design for Civil Rights
I was inspired by your article on architect Maya Lin and the
Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery (PROFILE, Nov. 6). The
structure she has designed commemorating those who died in the
struggle for equal rights seems to bear as much potential for
contemplation by the living as did her Viet Nam memorial. I know,
having touched the walls of the latter, the lingering and profound
effect it has.

I respect Lin's work, and I do not doubt her humanitarianism.
However, there are able black artists who have survived the early
days of the civil rights struggle and who are with us today,
working quietly and steadily. The honor of creating this memorial
should have been given to its people.
