This review is from: The Lives and Times of Black Dallas Women (Hardcover)

I had the pleasure of purchasing this book while visiting the Black Museum in Dallas during the month of August 2004. I was delighted to read about many women I'd always heard about while growing up in the city of Dallas more than 60 years ago. The pictures are great and the information was quite enlightening. Many people live and die without knowing that Black people have made positive contributions to the city's culture and the lives of it's people. My purchase today is a gift to my mother who also found the book "very exciting". It was wonderful to look through the book with her as she was reminded of her early years in Dallas, noting places that no longer exists, and recognizing faces and recalling memories.
