Glenna Goodacre: We Mourn, We Remember, We Celebrate
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glenna Goodacre, the renowned sculptor of our very own Irish Memorial. Read more about this extraordinary artist.
The National Memorial to An Gorta Mór is located in Philadelphia Pa, USA. This memorial commemorates the struggle and pain of those Irish who fled their homeland in the face of a hunger of catastrophic proportions. It celebrates their courage that forged an enduring link between Ireland and America.
