Pardon Me, Everyone, created by Artist Mich S, is a 112-foot installation located along the perimeter fence at College Park Memorial Cemetery on West Dallas Street in Houston. Currently on view, the installation features a series of life-size, semi-transparent acrylic silhouettes of soldiers from the 24th infantry of the Historic Buffalo Soldiers. Pardon Me, Everyone pays homage to Reverend Jack Yates through UV screen printed images on transparent acrylic panel; Reverend Jack Yates and the Yates Family plot are located in College Park Memorial Cemetery. The installation depicts the “Houston 13” soldiers of the Buffalo Soldiers 24th Infantry marching from the west side of Houston (Camp Logan/Present Day Memorial Park) to downtown Houston – this time with a request for pardon and healing from the pain once existing in this city. This time from a city ready to hear and advocate for peace and restoration. Learn more at pardonme13.com and on KPRC coverage of the project here. The location is at College Memorial Park Cemetery (3525 W Dallas St., Houston, TX 77019).
