More than 250 of the 1089 bricks forming the walkway are already engraved and in place.

Lupo together with the Co-Chairs Joseph Sciame and Keith Wilson, the Director of the museum Michela Traetto and the Board of Commissioners, will hold a dedication ceremony of the museum’s Commemorative Brick Walkway.
