Glen Hill Cemetery is a historic 19th century Black cemetery located in Rockwall County, Texas. It is one of the older Black cemeteries in North Texas, connected to the now flooded Glen Hill community. We are stewards for their non-profit fund. Read more about Glen Hill here.

Every year, we produce a themed calendar recognizing important people, places, and/or organizations in Dallas history. Each calendar serves as a keepsake of local Black history. Previous themes have included Dallas educators, service-people, churches and businesses, and musicians and artists. 

The DCJI coalition was formed in collaboration with Equal Justice Initiative as part of the Community Remembrance Project. They strive to honor victims of racial terror in Dallas County and shed light on the legacy of racial violence.

Our half-day bus tours take travelers around the often hidden-history of Black Dallas. Our guide points out the sites, sights, and stories of Dallas' African-American history, including locations of historic Black communities, Freedman Towns, and other places of interest. 

Our multi-day, annual heritage tours are led by expert guides, leading travelers through African-American history and culture across the United States. Previous tours have visited Washington DC, Tulsa, Louisiana, and New York City. 

First performed on stage in early 2020, this living museum featured a few everyday, ordinary yet extraordinary local African-Americans of Dallas telling their stories. These selected natives tell and show us what life was like in Dallas from the late 1800's through 1960's. Audiences heard true accounts of local life, family, and community in the realms and aftermath of slavery, reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights movement in Dallas. 

Our volunteers work with Dallas natives to record and preserve stories about generations of family, community, and life in Dallas.
