SynopsisGoodreads Top 100 Best Books on African-American Studies, Best Books on Racism in America, 2022. Named to D Magazine's Who's Who, 1992.Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and SMU professor Craig Flournoy wrote that most books on Dallas read like they were commissioned by chamber of commerce boosters. The result is that there is a myth that Dallas leaders have been largely fair, forward-thinking officials who built a city that work for all citizens without much social upheaval.This book erodes that myth. The authors show how Dallas leaders implemented a system of segregation to the benefit of Caucasians mostly living in North Dallas. Many early Dallas leaders were KKK members, as the official city charter kept a "segregation of the races" clause in it until 1969. The book covers lawsuits, protests, threats to disrupt the Cotton Bowl parade, and other means that African Americans, Hispanics, and disenfranchised people employed to try to gain a sliver of the political and economic pie.Co-authors Roy Williams, a civil rights advocate and plaintiff in a landmark 1990 voting rights lawsuit, and Kevin Shay, a journalist who has written for more than 25 Dallas-area newspapers and magazines, trace the history of the city using information obtained through interviews, studies, lawsuits, and newspaper articles from mainstream and minority publications, among other sources.This is the first edition of the book, published in 1991.
