Our friends, Flatpack Festival, recently tweeted an image of the long-awaited installation of the city’s JFK memorial on Floodgate Street in Digbeth.

It’s great to see that after all the controversy, the mosaic is finally becoming a part of Digbeth.
We have been informed that the memorial will be unveiled and rededicated on Sunday 20th January at 12:00 noon. Hopefully DiG will be there to get a photo of the ceremony in action!
The controversy still continues. See the Birmingham Mail website for further information, along with a photo gallery charting the installation of the mosaic.
