Fort Worth Lynching Tour: Honoring the Memory of Mr. Fred Rouse (FWLT) was an interactive, bike, car, and virtual tour to four sites associated with the December 11, 1921 racial terror lynching of Mr. Fred Rouse in Fort Worth, TX. The tour was accompanied by a downloadable, augmented reality, phone/tablet app that was used at each of the four sites—or remotely—to understand and process the history of the murder of Mr. Rouse at the hands of a white mob.

The goal of the tour was to generate community healing through memorial activism. Fort Worth Lynching Tour: Honoring the Memory of Mr. Fred Rouse invites participants to ask the questions, “What, how, why, and whom do we remember?”

The in-person tour lasted approximately three hours (the bike tour was a longer) and was accompanied by a Black Mental Health Professional. As part of the tour, DNAWORKS hosted a Community Storycircle for participants to process the tour experience together and share stories of resistance, resilience, and healing.

Nominated for The Drama League's 2021 Outstanding Interactive or Socially-Distanced Theater Award

Made possible with funding from: Asylum Arts, City of Fort Worth Diversity & Inclusion Department, DuBose Family Foundation, Mid-America Arts Alliance, Rainwater Charitable Foundation, and an anonymous Fund at the North Texas Community Foundation

Remote tours are still available via Zoom. For more information: https://www.dnaworks.org/fwlt
