About this Event

Around the Block: A Literary Tour of Black Dallas is a storytelling initiative that explores and preserves the rich histories of Black Dallas through place-based narrative. Blending oral histories, archival research, and creative writing, the project highlights the people, neighborhoods, and cultural landmarks that have shaped the city’s Black experience. Through guided literary reflections and community engagement, Around the Block invites audiences to see Dallas not just as a map, but as a living archive of memory, resilience, and cultural legacy.
