Remnants of 1965
Remnants of 1965 by Riley Holloway presents Fort Worth’s rich culture and diversity by commemorating an important moment in history to inspire and remind us of what it took for us to get where we are today. Inspired by a historic Fort Worth Star-Telegram photograph of the event and moved by the simple expression of joined black and white hands, Holloway’s three painted vignettes draw a modern-day parallel to that moment.
