The Coalition That Saved the Ku Klux Klan Building in Fort Worth Explains Plans For the Lynching Site
Rouse was murdered by a mob of white men, mostly stockyard workers who were upset with him for continuing to work while others held out on strike. Two police officers were among the six men indicted for the lynching, but no one was found guilty of the murder.
Adam McKinney, co-founder of DNAWORKS alongside Daniel Banks, says, “Daniel and I specifically began to lobby in support of identifying that the demolition was not appropriate, and that what I feel was more appropriate was remembering this history so that we can better understand how we, as a community, can offer creative solutions to the problems we are seeing now in our city and in our country.
The Fred Rouse Center for Arts and Community Healing will provide various services to the community and will house offices for the organizations involved. Ayesha Ganguly, vice chair of Window to Your World, says the building will include an exhibition space, a civil rights museum, historical information about the life and death of Fred Rouse, meeting rooms for smaller nonprofit organizations and community groups, an urban garden and other spaces for artists to create, practice and perform.
