FAIR PARK UPROOTED
FGIII Fine Art Productions partnered with Broadway Dallas to design their inaugural equity, diversity, inclusion, and access exhibition titled "South Dallas Stories: Fair Park Uprooted." This exhibition celebrates the rich history and contributions of Fair Park and the South Dallas community, highlighting its vibrant narratives and fostering greater awareness of the area's cultural significance.
Broadway Dallas is committed to advancing excellence in live musical theater while fostering inclusivity and addressing racial equity through community engagement. By presenting the "South Dallas Stories: Fair Park Uprooted" exhibit in the Music Hall lobby, the organization aims to highlight the artistic narratives of South Dallas residents affected by historical inequities. This ongoing initiative not only enriches the cultural experience of audiences in North Texas but also seeks to inspire transformation and dialogue within the community, reinforcing Broadway Dallas's goal of becoming a fully inclusive and anti-racist organization.
Broadway Dallas is committed to prioritizing institutional racial equity and sustaining accountability as part of our organization’s culture. We will continue to introduce equitable processes, programs, and exhibitions that engage our staff, board, and patrons.
We will hear the truth and we will tell the truth so that we completely understand the harm caused by racist systems and our obligation to dismantle these systems.
We acknowledge that this land was stolen and then built upon through the enslavement of stolen Black and African people who were forcibly removed from their homelands and through the continuous labor of migrant workers. Broadway Dallas recognizes these injustices made during the creation of our nation and the formation of this community of which we are all a part. Today, we strive to heal the harm still perpetuated by these systems through trustful community partnering and joyful artistic expression for diverse audiences.
Broadway Dallas acknowledges that we live and work on the stolen land of the Caddo and Wichita peoples and nomadic tribes such as the Kiowa and Comanche. We honor all the tribes that stewarded this land for thousands of years. The Indigenous people’s connection to this land was challenged by invading settlers, genocide, forced removals, and other acts of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility Exhibition colonization.
