THE SUPPORT

The project has received widespread support including Fort Worth and Texas chapters of the NAACP, Congressman Marc Veasey (D-TX), National Trust for Historic Preservation, City of Fort Worth leadership, local clergy, local arts organizations, faculty from Texas Christian University and the University of Texas-Arlington, President of Minnesota College of Art and Design, Curator of Jewish Museum of Milwaukee, and the International Coalition for Sites of Conscience, of which we are a member.

In October 2021, Transform 1012 received Urban Land Institute of Dallas-Fort Worth’s 2021 Next Big Idea Award, recognizing innovative ideas that can positively impact the region’s quality of life. In May 2022, Historic Fort Worth put Transform 1012 on the annual “Endangered List.” In November 2023, the Texas Society of Architects awarded Transform 1012 with a “Citation of Honor” in recognition of significant contributions in supporting the creation of safe, beautiful, equitable, and sustainable environments and communities in Texas. In April 2024, we were presented with the inaugural “Community Impact Award” from Brite Divinity School for Theology and Justice.
