Story by Candace Sweat
Plans are moving forward to overhaul Dallas’ Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
The Black Academy of Arts and Letters is included in the multibillion-dollar project and will temporarily relocate while improvements are made.
At the corner of Canton and South Akard, major changes are on the horizon. Curtis King, founder and president of The Black Academy of Arts and Letters, reflected on what this will mean for years to come.
We’re here today asking for your continued support for this massive plan for the convention center,” King said.
Decades of historic performances and renowned visitors are commemorated throughout the halls of TBAAL, which will begin moving into its temporary home, the Women’s Museum at Fair Park.
“People need to see the bigger picture and the broader dreams,” said King. “There’s promise, there’s hope, there’s excitement, and there’s enthusiasm.”
