We will be having an organizational meeting Thursday, April 18th at 7:30 pm. WILL UPDATE WITH LOCATION SOON.
The agenda is about deracializing the landscape and will include additional items.
It will be somewhere along Highway 75 (Central) near a DART light rail station. I will be updating this posting when I fix the location.
Meetings will be 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month.
We will be discussing possible projects and an agenda.
To find background information on Dallas there are these online resouces.

The following agenda is by no means complete but I think it is a good start.
UNFINISHED TASKS
1. The replica Arlington House in Oak Lawn built to glorify Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy.
2. Many schools named after Confederates and other white supremacists.
3. Two minor Confederate monuments in Oak Lawn Park.
4. The whole Fair Park is an assemblage of white supremacist art and architecture.
5. Hatton W. Sumners honored at the Red Museum.
6. Many streets named after Confederates, white supremacists, and one after Nathan Bedford Forrest.
7. Exclude Lost Cause jurors from Jury duty.
We need to have regular meetings and plan strategies. The easy victories are done. Now we enter the hard fight against the racialized landscape.
