This is a historical opportunity. We have an offer to erect a monument (memorial) for Ataturk in the City of Carson, near Los Angeles, in a public green space dedicated to inspirational leaders of the world. This will educate and inspire our young Turkish Americans as well as the American public on the greatness of Ataturk and the Turkish Independence War followed by the Turkish Republic and its reforms. We met with Mr. Jim Dear (Mayor of City of Carson) and Ms. Charlotte Arrick (Planning Staff, City of Carson). City of Carson mayor is very knowledgeable about Ataturk and his accomplishments. We all decided to move forward with the Ataturk Monument of course contingent on the support of Turkish American community and finding enough funding.
A website for this important project is under construction. In the meantime, if you want to get more information, please write to info@atasc.org
