Juneteenth Panel: History of Deep Ellum

Discussing Deep Ellum's cotton-picking journey to freedom, Donald Payton, known as the "unofficial historian of Black Dallas," and Clarence Glover, Jr, aka "Professor Freedom", are leading a panel over the history of Deep Ellum. A center of Dallas Black culture, they will be discussing how Deep Ellum first started as a cotton production center of Dallas and became the business and cultural center of Black Dallas and how it has evolved into the Deep Ellum we know today.
