George Bannerman Dealey Statue

Located in the historic West End District of Downtown Dallas, Dealey Plaza is infamous as the location of the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Named for George Bannerman Dealey (1859–1946), a civic leader and early publisher of The Dallas Morning News who campaigned for the area’s revitalization, the plaza is outlined by monuments honoring prominent Dallas residents that predate President Kennedy’s visit. Although it often goes unnoticed by most visitors since it is in the area where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, a statue was built in Dealey Plaza in 1947 to honor its namesake, George Bannerman Dealey. The statue stands on the south half of Dealey Plaza behind the reflecting pool on Houston Street.
