The Armenian Cultural Garden at 741 MLK Blvd. in Cleveland was opened on Sunday September 19, 2010. The Alphabet monument symbolizes the centrality of the Armenian language in creating the Armenian state. Alphabet is composed of staggered granite blocks, representing both the turbulent history of the Armenian people and the ruggedly beautiful landscape of Armenia and the Caucasus region. The reverse side of the monument is inscribed with Pride of a Nation listing the anglicized names of 33 men and women, noted for their historical and cultural contributions to the Armenian nation as briefly stated next to each name. These important Armenians lives span history from antiquity to the 21st century, from the king Tigran the Great to the journalist Hrant Dink.
