"The paucity of resources on early African Americans in Dallas makes Our Stories a valuable tool for research."" - Merline Pitre, author of In Struggle against Jim Crow: Lulu B. White and the NAACP, 1900–1957""Our Stories appears to be alone in literature on Dallas, Texas. It should be attractive to many readers in Dallas and across Texas as well as readers, including historians, who are interested in African American urbanization."" - Alwyn Barr, author of Black Texans ""By republishing descriptions of historic Black neighborhoods, family histories, and several fascinating oral histories—all long out of print and difficult to find—Our Stories: Black Families in Early Dallas makes a significant contribution to local historiography. This book will be invaluable to anyone researching Dallas history or just seeking a better understanding of the contributions of Black citizens to the development of the city."" - Michael V. Hazel, Ph.D., author of Dallas: A History of Big D ""Our Stories is a cause for celebration! This welcome volume makes important African American oral histories available to a new generation. A source of pride for the community, this rich and rewarding compendium should also stimulate further research in Black history."" - Russell L. Martin III, Director, DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University"
