Amid the pop and wail of fireworks, the family of Jamar Clark unveiled a marble stone bench at the place he took his last breath. The bench unveiling came after an event commemorating ten years to the day that 24-year-old Jamar Clark was fatally shot by Minneapolis Police. Jamar’s mother Irma Burns thanked those in attendance for being there “to keep Jamar’s spirit and legacy alive.”
The bench includes an image of Clark emblazoned on the right side. Text lasered into the left of the bench reads “I have a purpose” and the center rectangle reads “In loving memory of Jamar Clark 1991-2015.”
