Their final resting place

 
Lake Clara Meer played an important role in the lives of Louise Taylor and Mel Mann.
 
Lake Clara Meer is located in Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta.
 
It was often the site of many protests attended by Mel in the 1960s.
 
Louise and Mel would often come here to clear their minds, write, picnic and swim. It became their "spot".
 
When the time came to sprinkle their ashes, it was an easy decision by their friends that this is where they would want to remain.
 
 
Midtown Atlanta has changed so much since their deaths. However, Piedmont Park remains a melting pot and a place for everyone. The heart of Atlanta.
