Our Needs

Funding is greatly needed for ongoing local educational programs, scholarship program, oral history documentation of elders as it relates to Dallas' history, culture, race relationships, and preservation of local artifacts and documentation, purchase of historical markers, publications and theater productions. Also, funding is needed to support the newly developed National program of the Dallas County EJI (Equal Justice Initiative) Coalition to help support and fund the various speakers, needed venue space for events, printing/graphics, public forums, and memorial presentations.
