On the 62nd anniversary of the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Dallas’ current mayor Eric L. Johnson, city manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert, and city council members must resolve to not bring another lasting stain to the city by allowing the destruction of our I M Pei designed City Hall.
· I M Pei designed Dallas City Hall to move forward from the shadow of the Kennedy assassination. Dallas’ visionary mayor J. Erik Jonsson (in office 1965-1971) championed this landmark initiative.
· City Hall is an iconic building by this Pritzker Prize laureate.
· I M Pei was personally selected by Jackie Kennedy to design JFK’s Presidential Library in Boston, and the Dallas City Council voting to sell Pei’s cornerstone contribution to Dallas’ civic history so it can be demolished would be another shameful stain on the city.
