Reimagining what art monuments can be, artworks dispersed throughout a public park convey a powerful legacy of courage and love. The art honors and commemorates a maverick group of civil rights activists who improved Denton’s race relations in the 1960s. Bridging racial barriers through friendship, the women eased public-school integration while winning major living-standards improvements for Denton’s African American community. In a contemporary take on yesteryear’s sculpture gardens, monument sized lenticular discs morph and change as viewers enter the park, while colorful images fused into aluminum are suspended from a 24-foot wide stainless steel arc.
