Fair Park Recontextualization Committee, overlooks major Confederate artwork at Fair Park, barely is able to get a quorum of six out of 14 members

I am attending the meetings of the Recontextualization Committee for Fair Park. This is about the meeting on 8/21/2019.

One thing is that they had a hand out of their tasks and in reading ths handout I see one of the major significant Confederate artworks of Fair Park in the Hall of State in the Texas Building is omitted.


What is missing is the three Confederate leaders on the murals at the Hall of State and also the trinity of female figures, one of which represents the Confederacy. If you look at the three figures one is the "South" and one is the "North." This is to demote the United States of America to be a faction and elevate the Confederacy as the USA's equal. Also, it promotes the idea that the South and the Confederacy is the same thing, that the South is defined by the Confederacy. None of the six members there noticed. I pointed it out after the meeting.


Also, even though there are 14 members on the committee, they were barely able to get six people to show up to meet a quorum. The committee members really have a lack attitude. Excuse was made that it was the first day of school for the universities, but there always  seems to be some reason for the lack of attendance. The second public input meeting was scheduled during the Dallas city elections.
