By Kristen Barton, Fort Worth Report September 26, 2021 Like most of the country, Fort Worth's history is marked with moments that segregated, hurt or even killed people of color. To address the remnants of racism, the Rainwater Charitable Foundation has brought a group called Dallas Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation to Fort Worth to help come up with and provide solutions for racial equity in the city.
