Other stories include the integration of Dallas schools, Texas’s first Black surgeon and dentist who both had practices in our town, and Harriet Mason, the little girl given to the Gano family when she was 7 years old who, 80 years later, shared her story for the Federal Writers’ Project’s “Slave Narratives.”
