Once one of the most vibrant African American communities in Dallas, the Tenth Street District developed as a freedman’s town with strong community life fostered through schools, churches, and businesses. In spite of its background as a self-sufficient neighborhood, the historically significant buildings and community life are at risk due to rampant deterioration and vacancy. Despite this, the longstanding familial ties to the neighborhood guarantee continued, if sporadic, interest and love for the neighborhood.
