Well Done Parks & Rec and Ms. Taylor. I can't think of another person more deserving than Karl Clark. He is the epitome of courage and self sacrifice and deserved the Medal of Honor. However, because of racism he was denied what he so rightfully earned. The Park is a fitting tribute to Mr. Clark. I just hope someday a bronze statue can be erected at the site of the Park. Thank you Mr. Clark you are a true American Hero. We will always remember you.
