irishmurr > Granite monument in Cleveland, Ohio dedicated to the Irish who perished during the Irish famine, as well as those who left their home country and came to the United States. (February 2011)

On the back side of this monument it reads:
"Cleveland Remembers
"The Great Hunger"
An Gorta Mor
Ireland's Potato Famine 1845 - 50

This memorial commemorates the passing of 150 years since the misery known as "The Great Hunger," a carnage visited upon the Irish nation diminishing her population by millons. As a result of imposed political and economic structures, many of the Irish were driven to the potato alone for survival. Consequently Ireland's people starved to death, or were forced to emigrate, many dying on "coffin ships" en route. This is one of the most tragic and significant events in Irish history.

Lest We Forget:
To those who died
To those who came and enriched our Cleveland shores
We dedicate this monument to you."

The monument was created by stonecutter Eamon DArcy, who was born in Newry, County Down, Ireland. He has lived in Cleveland since 1955.
