109.ART6.05. Broken Obelisk Day Proclamation "Broken Obelisk" a beloved landmark in Houston's Museum District, has recently undergone an 18-month restoration by the Menil Collection's conservation staff. Though created by Barnett Newman a decade before Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, Houston art patrons and activists John and Dominique de Menil saw the work, with its dramatic broken-off top, as a fitting memorial to the civil-rights leader assassinated in 1968. Houston's "Broken Obelisk" is one of three made by Newman (the other two are at New York's Museum of Modern Art and at the University of Washington, Seattle). Reinstalled at its original site in time for this year's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, "Broken Obelisk" rises anew from the Rothko Chapel reflecting pool -- a landmark work of art and a powerful memorial to Dr. King. Marking the conclusion of Black History Month, on Sunday, February 26, 2006, The Rothko Chapel will re-dedicate the Barnett Newman sculpture "Broken Obelisk" in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Rothko Chapel and The Menil Collection will co-host the ceremony. The City of Houston salutes and commends the organizers and participants of this worthwhile endeavor, and extends best wishes for a successful and rewarding event. Therefore I, Bill White, Mayor of the City of Houston, hereby proclaim February 26, 2006 as Broken Obelisk Day in Houston Texas. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the Official Seal of the City of Houston to be affixed this 23rd day of February, 2006, A.D. Signed Bill White, Mayor of the City of Houston February 26 2006

Awarded to Dominique de Menil 23.70.21 National Medal of Arts 1986

23.70.24 Acknowledgement, certificate, To Rothko Chapel, For their sustained financial support to the Intercultural Institute of Montreal. 23.70.25 Homage to Dominique de Menil and her lifelong commitment to love for Humanity and Social Justice, February 26 1998 We would like to share the highlights of the story of our relationship with Dominique, and how she touched us personally as well as the life of our Institute. Our first contact with me de Menil was in 1973 when following her personal invitation the Intercultural Institute of Montreal then called Monchanin Center) participated in the Rothko Chapel Interfaith Symposium on Traditional Modes of Contemplation and Action. In 1976 she layed the foundation that made it possible to acquire the two buildings that have been housing our Institute since then. Had it not been for her financial help, we would have been out in the street at a very critical moment of our existence. From 1976 to 1989, she supported the Institute yearly, through donations, coming either from the Menil Foundation, the Rothko Chapel or from her person. In 1982, upon her invitation, we collaborated closely with her in the great event of Human rights awards at the Rothko Chapel. In 1984, we were graced by her personal visit to the Institute. In 1991, she layed the cornerstone of an endowment fund for our Institute. It was accompanied by a letter with this note: “You have given life to a vital institution which fights against everything that threatens our contemporary world: division between ethnic groups, classes, religions, languages, mentalities, erosion of ancestral structures and the failure of economic projects full of hope. Everything has to be thought anew and rebuilt. Only that which will be done with intelligence and love will have some chance to succeed. All my friendship and admiration, Dominique de Menil” These words speak eloquently her love for us and her faith in us. They continue to strengthen our resolve to pursue our work. May the future generations never lose sight of all that Dominique de Menil has done for the Intercultural Institute of Montreal and for us all, and with so much care and love!

37.11.07 Honorary Degree of Doctor of Human Letters, Loyola University, 1982 In her acceptance of the honorary degree, Mrs. de Menil told the Loyola graduates “the world is in deep trouble; it needs you; of all the values honored at this university none is more precious than commitment to truth without which there is no freedom, and without freedom we become slaves to lies, to injustice, and finally to terror.”
