"This place is so important because it houses many of the things that identify the parts of Bishop – it has the desk he wrote his messages, it has the chair that he prayed in every Sunday," said Ryan Gray, a young adult pastor at Holy Redeemer.

"Bishop Daniels intentionally placed the excellence and expertise of his wisdom, knowledge and ability right in the heart of the city," said Valerie Daniels-Carter, senior executive pastor.

The memorial is located at the Institute for the Preservation of African-American Music and Arts.
