The Texas Historical Commission would have you know more. Settled by former slaves following the American Civil War, it is considered “Oak Cliff’s most important African-American neighborhood,” according to Preservation Dallas.

This weekend, the district will receive a historic marker via the state historical commission’s “untold marker” program.

An unveiling of the Tenth Street freedman’s town historic marker and a ribbon cutting for the N.W. Harlee Childhood Center is at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 at 1216 E. Eighth.
