Alexander Martinez Portrait of Alexander Martinez by Beth Carson

From Alexander’s sister Rosalind Pichardo: The reason I started Operation Save Our City is to keep my brother's memory alive through my actions for justice and my brother's spirit of hope....I miss you Alexander Martinez

From the curator: Roz is indeed a savior for many, many people in this city. She is also an artist and we are so grateful that we were able to pay tribute to her dear brother. Beth depicts him in a kind of savior pose, also, with a prism of light signifying hope cascading from his raised hands.
