Annual Gift to Dallas Public Library Announced, DGS Newsletter, July DGS NEWSLETTER Volume 16, Number 6 (Issue 142) Dallas, Texas July-August 1992 Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck Recipient of NGS Highest Honor by Sammie Townsend Lee Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck has been elected a fellow of the National Genealogical Society (NGS), the Society's highest honor. The announcement was made by First Vice-President Sharron Standifer Ashton, chairman of the Awards Committee, and presented by NGS President Ralph E. Jackson at the conference banquet of the 1992 NGS Conference in the States, which was held April 29-May 2, 1992 in Jacksonville, Florida. The Ms. Ashton stated the honor was "in recognition of [Lloyd's] contributions extending across the breadth of genealogical activities and organizations, outstanding service to the Society, and distinguished achievement in genealogy and related fields ." Lloyd has been a member of the National Genealogical Society for nineteen years and has participated in every NGS conference since the Diamond Jubilee in 1978 and as lecturer in every conference since 1983. He received the NGS Award of Merit in 1983. Lloyd is well known and greatly appreciated by family researchers in the north Texas area. He has been with the Dallas Public Library since 1973 and has been supervisor of the Genealogy Section since 1979. His knowledge of Library Science, genealogical source materials, and the family researcher's needs has aided him in building the collection into one that is highly respected, as well as one of the larger collections in the United States. As a life member and active supporter of the Dallas Genealogical Society, Lloyd generously donates his time and knowledge to further the Society's objective and goals. He has served on the DGS Board of Directors as Library Liaison since 1979. In 1988 his book, Virginia's Colonial Soldiers, received a special award in the Society's Annual Book Awards. Recognized nationally as a quality genealogical educator, Lloyd developed Course II, Intermediate Genealogical and Historical Studies, at Samford University's Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research in Birmingham, Alabama, and has been on the faculty '" ' since 1974. From 1974 to 1991 he taught basic and intermediate genealogy courses at the Southern Methodist University School of Continuing Education. His course was considered a must by local family researchers who found it a place to learn those interesting and valuable facets of genealogy that one cannot learn from a book. He now educates us with his well-written "Family Tree" column, which appears each Saturday in The Dallas Morning News. His staff members and coworkers at the library and the Executive Board of the Dallas Genealogical Society requests the DGS membership to join with us in extending a hearty congratulations to Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck, FNGS.

  • 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.

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.

( page 34 ) III A GATEWAY TO THE CITY OF DALLAS A County Government Center John Crews Rainey Submitted for the degree of M. Arch. in the Department of Architecture on August 13, 1958. The city of Dallas, Texas, population 600,000, is air capital of the Southwest, a wholesale and manufacturing center, a quality retailing center, one of the largest insurance centers in the nation and an industrial giant. The city, just over one hundred years old, was founded in 1841 by John Neely Bryan on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River Valley. Bryan's cabin still remains on the bluff as a testament of Dallas' amazing growth. In the past fifty years the center of downtown activity has moved eastward from the area surrounding Bryan's cabin. Due to the recently completed Dallas-Ft. Worth expressway, and because of an existing ring of traffic around the down- town area limiting expansion beyond it, the downtown area will, in the immediate future, expand back to its original location.
