Celebrate Black History Month
|
|
While we anticipate March and the restart of free outdoor programming, we wanted to share some Dallas-based opportunities to commemorate this February celebration.
Perot Museum of Nature and Science in partnership with the African American Museum: Staircase Project
Step up to see local architect and emerging artist Daniel M. Gunn’s prize-winning piece of art (above). His creation, GIANT STEPS – Celebrating Extraordinary Achievements of African-American Leaders in STEM, was selected as the winner of the Staircase Project design competition, and it is currently installed on the Perot Museum’s multi-story, outdoor staircase. This special flight of stairs will be on display through Memorial Day. Click here for details!
The Grand Lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias Temple
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Grand Lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias Temple was designed by noted African American architect William Sidney Pittman and served as a center for civic, business, and social life in Dallas at a time when segregation offered few alternatives. Located in the historic Deep Ellum neighborhood at the corner of Elm and Good (now Good-Latimer Expressway) streets, the building is more than 100 years old. Click here for details!
St. Philip's School and Community Center:
Twenty-First Annual Destiny Award Luncheon
This annual benefit, honoring those who have demonstrated exceptional work in bridging diverse communities (something close to our hearts!), is going virtual, allowing even more to attend on Friday, March 26. Join keynote speaker Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize winner, recipient of the National Humanities Medal and New York Times bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.

Due to the frigid temperatures, the Lil’ Red Flower Truck folks are staying warm in their flowerbeds and unable to join us in the Park tomorrow. Once the weather warms, these beautiful bloomers will revisit the Park to create bouquets for your favorite special someone. Not a daisy will go by that we won’t miss them. We really lilac them |

The Park Needs Your Support More Than Ever
|
|
Klyde Warren Park's mission is to provide free programming and educational opportunities for the enrichment of visitors' lives, to showcase the diverse multitude of cultures and talents Dallas has to offer, and to be a town square where citizens may congregate and create traditions together.
The 5.2-acre park relies on contributions from donors to support maintenance, special programming and educational activities for more than one million visitors each year. Please consider making a gift to help us pay for expanded cleaning protocols. Thank you!
