Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman's Town
Roads to Destruction: Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman’s Town by Cynthia Lewis Like most American cities following World War II, Dallas entered a period of economic prosperity, and city leaders, like their counterparts throughout the nation, sought to maximize that prosperity through various urban renewal initiatives.1 Black urban communities across the country, branded as blighted areas, fell victim to the onslaught of postwar urban redevelopment as city leaders initiated massive renewal projects aimed at both bolstering the appeal and accessibility of the urban center and clearing out large sections of urban black neighborhoods. Between the years 1943 and 1983, Dallas city officials directed a series of massive redevelopment projects that decimated each of the city’s black communities, displacing thousands and leaving these communities in a state of disarray.2 This paper, which focuses on the historically black Dallas community of North Dallas, argues that residential segregation, which forced the growth and evolution of North Dallas, ultimately led to the development of slum conditions that made North Dallas a target for postwar slum clearance projects which only served to exacerbate blight within the community. Founded in 1869 by former slaves, North Dallas, formerly known as Freedman’s Town, is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Dallas.3 Located just northeast of downtown and bounded by four cemeteries to the north and white-owned homes to the south, east, and west, the area became the largest and most densely populated black settlement in the city. Residential segregation played a pivotal role in the establishment and evolution of North Dallas, as it did with most black urban communities across the country.4 Racial segregation in Dallas, with its roots in antebellum, began to take 1 For an in-depth analysis of the United States’ postwar economy, see Postwar Urban America: Demography, Economics, and Social Policies by John F. -

Boyd's is far narrower in scope-its main text weighs in at only 121 pages-as well as less accurate and less colorfully told. The Jazz of the Southwest was characterized by an alarming lack of scholarly vigor, and that same defect pervades the newer work. Problems arise from the start. The opening chapter on various strains of Texas music is perfunctory, distilled from a few extremely general texts (or Web sites); it offers little insight into the musi cal and social milieu from which the Doughboys "We're The Light Crust Doughboys from Burrus and their music sprang.

Chapter One – the Founding of Polytechnic College 1890
Chapter One – The Founding of Polytechnic College 1890 In August 1890, Reverend Milton Koger Little bounced around in his buggy examining three tracks offered to Fort Worth Methodists for a new regional college. The Methodist Episcopal Church South Northwest Texas Conference pastors and congregants saw the growth of the city to twenty-thousand in that year’s census as an opportunity to educate nearby city youth and those on ranches near and far. Interested Methodists had offered three tracks: a large one in Arlington Heights, a smaller one on the south side of downtown, and fifty acres four miles east of Fort Worth. On the 24th, hot as only Texas can be at the end of summer, Little, pastor of Missouri Avenue Church, climbed down from his buggy and drove a stake in the middle of the tract on a hill over a hundred feet above the Trinity River to the north. Early Fort Worth settlers Arch Hall and his brother W.D. Hall, along with their nephew, George Tandy, had offered the site for the college. The North Texas contingent proposed the new college at the conference’s November meeting at the fifth-day’s afternoon session in Abilene where it was unanimously approved to open a Methodist institute of learning in young, but burgeoning, Fort Worth.

Graff It does not take long for a newcomer to Southwestern history to discover that this region, with all its glorious legends and dramatic events, truly lacks a systematically recorded past. The Southwest abounds with the fruits of a long tradition of solid historiography and lodes of literateurs' lore. However, when the researcher looks below the level of colorful portrayals of personalities and battles and the saga offrontier settlement, he or she finds the basic ingredients of history as yet untouched. This is principally the case in social and economic history-and especially that of the modern style. The bare bones of social development, population profiles, and social differentiation and their interaction with a developing economy have simply not received the dry but grounded attention of the historian or social scientist.
