I am doing an intensive excavation of Dallas' Confederate built landscape. Streets, parks, schools, monuments.
I am writing up papers on two topics and then will make PowerPoint presentations based on them. I am scheduled to speak at one place early Sept.
I am involved helping out groups so people while know who I am and what I can do.
I will be back to do postings occasionally, and when I get my research into Dallas accomplished I will post more often.
Being retired I have the opportunity to be more involved locally. Additionally, I want to develop a practical politics around the built landscape. It is one thing to do a series of academic papers, but it is another thing to get involved directly. I am also developing my own methods of field work. I hope to develop an activist tool kit also. What I learn from De-Confederating Dallas I want to make available as a training and tool kit for others in other cities.
I am also identifying gaps in what needs to be done to have an effective action plan and so working to fill those gaps.
I haven't forgotten the other projects I have had with a national scope and I have one of those started up again.
