Old Red Museum will also host hour-long panel discussions to assess the legacy of Erik Jonsson and Dallas in the 1960s. Each panel will feature a moderator who will visit with two or more individuals who knew and worked with Jonsson or who have continued his work in a particular area, allowing them to assess his legacy, or who were involved in some aspect of life in Dallas in the 1960s (sports, entertainment, retailing), either as a participant or a reporter.
