Bright, called in a fumigator to set off a cloud of insecticide inside the pharmacy in an extreme attempt to run off the protestors. The student demonstration was conducted by a group of silent students - it was a peaceful protest without violence. The sit-in was organized by theology students at SMU’s Perkins School of Theology to protest the owner’s refusal to serve Black customers at his lunch counter. It shows a peaceful “sit-in” demonstration at the University Pharmacy at the southwest corner of Hillcrest and McFarlin, across from the SMU campus. This one shows an incident I had heard about since I was a child.

(UPDATE: I have been informed by several people who have made the pilgrimage to Preston-Forest to see this mural that it is no longer accessible to the general public. Go and see it! And have fun identifying all the landmark buildings.
I know it was commissioned especially for this building, but no one ever sees it! It would be great if it were installed somewhere else where more people could enjoy it.

Even when you’re standing looking at it, it’s like being on the front row of a movie theater - the only way to see the whole thing is to move your head from side to side as you feel yourself straining to lean back to take the whole thing in. Unfortunately, it’s in a hallway, so there’s no way to take a photo of the whole thing straight on. It’s in the small lobby of office space you might never have even noticed. It’s about halfway between Staples and Whole Foods, next to a barber shop. I haven’t been over to see it since 2014, but I assume it’s still there. The mural was installed in the shopping center office. Mixon Jr., developers of several North Dallas shopping centers, including the Preston Forest Shopping Center (southeast corner of Preston and Forest). of Ohio (with a factory in the Trinity Industrial District) and installed by H.

I’d never seen it, and started looking to see what I could find. And that reminded me that I’ve been meaning to post these photos for several years now! (Thanks, G.H.)īack in June, 2014, I saw a Dallas Morning News blog post by Rudy Bush, saying that he had just seen a pretty amazing mural after having gone to get a haircut in the Preston Forest Shopping Center and that he was hoping to find more information about it.
