They want to "redesign" Dealey Plaza.

[Joseph Backes]

I think this redesign of Dealey Plaza conflicts with the National Historic Landmark designation. But, I wonder if that could be used in a legal proceeding to stop this. I hope so.  

I also think the powerful elites of Dallas are desperate to own the narrative of what happened in Dealey Plaza and want to control every inch of that space.  They want to own it and police it.  We've seen them arrest Robert Gordon like 90 times. But, they always fail to put him in jail and keep him there like they want. This redesign is a power grab for sure.  It's far worse than when Disney tried to create a Civil War theme park, or when Wal-Mart nearly put a super center on the land where Grant first fought Lee at the Battle of the Wilderness in Orange County, Virginia.  

Dealey Plaza is a unique place. It is the scene of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It is a crime scene. There are still far too many unanswered questions about the assassination. It is hallowed ground that belongs to the American people.  It does not belong to the elites of Dallas to parcel it out to architectural firms as a toy to win in a redesign competition. This power grab cloaked in the words of "respect" or "remembrance" is an insult to history and all who still care about President Kennedy.  

The research community should reach out to the law firms and preservationist groups in Texas and elsewhere.  Dallas does have an Office of Preservation but I doubt they have any power to stop this. But, they should be contacted anyway.  Preservation Texas, is a non-profit group member-supported organization dedicated to protecting the historic resources of Texas. They should be contacted. It costs $40 to become a member for a year. It's worth it to have a voice with them and to try to gain their support, if possible, to stop this.  

If they change Dealey Plaza into this nightmare we will never get it back.

I didn't see any rainbow crosswalks, I don't think this is "Progressive" enough frankly.

It's actually the opposite of Progressive, Mathew.

It's Orwellian-- more of the same old 59 year-old CIA psy op promoting a false narrative and false history of 11/22/63.

War is Peace.  Freedom is Slavery.  Fiction is History.

Maybe this will help you get it Koach.

Bump.....

I wonder how the proposed "redesign" of Dealey Plaza is progressing, one year later?

I particularly like the grandstand seating to the rear of the grassy knoll, so on reenactment day the public can see Badgeman and/or James Files with an unimpeded view.
