Thank you again to everyone who celebrated Alethia Tanner Day. We were honored to be joined by Alethia Tanner’s descendants, Susan and Peter Cook, for a special dedication ceremony this morning. Six permanent signage plaques that highlight Alethia’s story and accomplishments have been installed... at the park’s entrances.
In the words of Susan Cook: “They say we die three times: the first is when we physically take our last breath, the second is when we’re laid to rest, and the third is when our name is no longer spoken. May we forever say the name of Alethia Tanner and have her spirit in our hearts. May we continue to conjure her spirit, her values, her courage, her determination, and resolve.”
Swipe to learn more about Alethia by reading the new park signage, and to also hear more from Susan Cook.
