Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to Big "D" I published this book: "Black Citizens in Dallas (Together We Live)" to inform all people how proud I am of Dallas. Over the last forty plus years that I've lived in this area I fell in love with Dallas because Dallas overcame racial divide and came together to make our Community a better place for all people to live in peace, harmony and the freedom to enjoy their lives without the fear of oppression. Dallas has one of the best Police Department record in the United States protecting their citizens against police corruption and crime from other citizens. The pioneer founder of Dallas, John Neely Bryant had a vision on the banks of the Trinity River what Dallas would some day become. Today that vision has materialized and became a reality. Dallas is unique in her location, a landlocked City. Still became blessed that all people from all walks of life wanted to settle here and had the motivation to have the "Can Do" attitude to be the best they can be and strive to meet that goal. Some of the greatest inventions in the World were created in Dallas by men who came together without being selfish and share ideas that developed into great wonders and successes. Dallas has over 500 Corporate Headquarter Offices that are located in the area. What a feat to attain. I selected the finest minds and most influential leaders in Dallas that I could find. I researched by reading written documents on anyone that I could think of from public information on them and put them in my book. The finest citizens are considered one of the Nation's highest honors since the founding of the United States during the American Revolution by John Adams, John Hancock, James Bowdoin and other scholar-patriots who contributed prominently to the establishment of the new Nation, its Government, and its Constitution. This is something we should all be proud of. Future generation should be reminded in history where Dallas came from and what Dallas has contributed to Society. Dallas is one of the most beautiful City in the entire World because we take pride in our City and keeps it clean from graffiti and trash on our major arteries. Dallas is very business and consumer friendly, where all people can invest in their future, live together in harmony, peace and prosper from all walks of life. This book is an excellent gift to give to a neighbor, friend or a love one. Dallas has many secrets and I found most of them. So start your journey and see if you can find more. Carry this book with you everywhere you go (keep it in your automobile). Therlee Gipson
