Ernie Banks Statue Commission
Look forward to an installation coming in the Fall of 2018 in front of Booker T. Washington HSPVA. The project is a collaboration from Mayor Mike Rolling, Dallas ISD, and the fund for the support has been established through the Ernie Banks Memorial Statue Fund at the Community foundation of Texas.
Recognition and Celebration of two of Dallas' own hometown heroes: Winston School's art faculty member, Emmanuel Gillespie has been commissioned as the sculptor for a life-size statue of the late Ernie Banks. Booker T. students will also be assisting in the installation.
Banks was the legendary baseball player nicknamed "Mr. Cub" by his fans. Both Gillespie and Banks are notable alumni of Booker T. Washington High School.
