Whites Only Water Fountain, Dallas, TX
"Whites Only" Water Fountain, Segregation, Dallas, TX
In downtown Dallas, in the Dallas County Records building,
first interest closest to the Kennedy Assassination Cenotaph on Elm Street. Once it had been forgotten, the metal plate
above the water fountain was painted over or covered. Remembering the
segregation of the 1960 it now is a reminder of turbulent times. Now the
fountain is a multimedia art installation documenting the fight for equality
conceptionalized and designed by Artist Lauren Woods. The fountain is still in
working order but water only comes out after the finish of the 45 second civil
rights video
