Educate. \nOtis Boykin — a genius and valedictorian of his 1932 Booker T. Washington class\, dropped out of college but later went on to become an inventor/engineer with 25 major patents including a patent that enables the pacemaker to function properly. \nAnderson Bonner – was born an enslaved African around 1835 and after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1865 \, Brother Bonner got busy letting his dollars stack and became one of the largest landowners in Dallas County with over 2000 acres.  Free the Land. \nJulia Scott Reed – a highly acclaimed journalist at  the Black owned Dallas Express Newspaper\, Mrs. Reed left the Express to become  the first Black journalist hired at the Dallas Morning News in1967 during the height of the Civil Rights/Black Power Movements. \nR.C. Hickman – a fearless country fella from Mineola\, Texas came to Dallas with his camera to get his ‘hustle’ on and ended up accidently documenting the history of Black Dallas. From protest demonstrations to debutante balls to funerals\, parades\, White folks ‘acting up’ and everything in between\, Hickman created an amazing treasure trove of 10\,000 +photographs. \nMurine Bailey –  a highly revered DISD music teacher and choir director at Lincoln  High School\, Mrs. Bailey was loved and respected throughout the Dallas community.  Upon her retirement\, the Lincoln High school choir and a street in South Dallas were named in her honor. \nErnie Banks –  known as “Mr. Cub”  a Dallas native straight out of Short North Dallas (aka UpTown)\, played for the Chicago Cubs from 1953 to 1971. His remarkable career earned him induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977\, his first year of eligibility. \nDickie Foster – a savvy Black businesswoman\, was a pioneer journalist/co-owner of the Dallas Post Tribune newspaper.
