George Dealey

George Bannerman Dealey (18591946) was a Dallas, Texas businessman.

Dealey was the long-time publisher of the Dallas Morning News. He used his influence to accomplish many goals but will always undoubtedly be remembered primarily for one of them. He crusaded for the redevelopment of a particularly blighted area near downtown Dallas. When the redevelopment, involving a large square located at the intersection of three major avenues, was completed, it was named Dealey Plaza in his honor. This site became known worldwide when, on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while his motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza.
