Its kinda sad it shows all the white history but not the black history of my dear late friend Johnny Snow Sr. Born in gatesville in 1912 (his grand parents were slaves, & his parents as children.) Mr. Snow was employed by powell supply co. Till he was self employed as a mechanic when he opened a mechanic shop.people who knew him, saw him drive his long classic car all over town, just cruisin, he died at the age of 83 in 1995 . We were friends, we shared the same birthday june 28th. Best wise man i ever met, heart of gold, with an ol' soul. RIP my friend, i remembered you.

I would love to incorporate more of the black history of Gville if I had the material to do so. My husband fondly remembers Walter Snow, who used to come to the A&P Grocery and get produce from him. Also, his mother worked at the State School who had twin boys and he thinks one of them may still be living. If we had any names and phone numbers, we would love to talk to them on the phone and see if we could get pictures. If you know someone who would be receptive to that, we would be humbled and proud to collect whatever we can. I appreciate you. Please join my FB page, Coryell County History & Photos as well. Maybe together, we can change the narrative.

A lot of good memories here. My grandmother shopped at Eagle’s Market. They had the best chipped beef barbecue. I can taste it now. Went to a few funerals of loved ones at Dudley Hughes. I got baptized at Oak Cliff Methodist Church.

❤ I really enjoyed visiting the museum a few years ago when we bumped into y’all.
Born at St. Paul hospital 1963. Lived at the corner of Bentley and Franklin till I was in my 20s. Went to Cowart, Stockard, Christian Academy of Oak Cliff ( Got beat up at Stockard by a guy bussed in from across town. Teachers ran away scared). Went to Sunset briefly then back to CAOC. Graduated, went to work for Precision Measurement Incorporated out on the part of Ledbetter that was still kind of in the country back then near Mt. Creek Lake. Started work at the Dallas Sheriff’s Dept in 1984. Got to work at the Old Jail. Learned a lot of history there. Used to go exploring the areas and floors that were no longer in use. Got married in 86 and bought a house in Midlothian out at Park Place. Soloed in a Cessna 152 at Redbird Airport in 1987. Left the Sheriff’s Dept in 91 and started shoeing horses for a living with my wife. A few years later moved out to a place in the middle of no-where just south of Hico, Texas. Been flying airplanes for a living since 2004. Going back and exploring present day Dallas and Oak Cliff fills me with mixed emotions. Some things just can’t be put back like they ought to be once you ruin them or sweep them away. Still love Dallas and Oak Cliff. But I could never go back and live there. Thank you for this video. I want to watch some of the ones on your channel. Several of them interest me greatly.

Still a VERY segregated Dallas at that time...Years ago when I lived in Dallas I bought a house in Oakcliff in the Elmwood neighborhood. The house was built in 1948 and I bought it in 1993. The deed to the home still stated that the house could not be sold to a black person

@MeanBaby-zj7lz That absolutely false statement doesnt make sense...since today those same type of people are living in high end areas of D/FW like Colleyville, Southlake etc etc. I think the real scary thing is living in an area full of ignorant people.

Thank you so much for making this. It brings back so many wonderful memories. My mother and father were both born before Methodist Hospital, so born in Dallas, but their homes were in Oak Cliff. My mom was born in 1922 and grew up on Winnetka. My daddy was born in 1921, but I'm not sure where there were living then. They both went to Sunset. My older sisters graduated from Sunset and my brother from Kimball because we had moved closer to there by then. I love that you included Chateau DeVille Apartments because my older sisters shared an apartment there before they went off to separate colleges. Thank you for the memories.

Been living in Oak Cliff since 1964. Never left. Miss all the things I grew up with and people who lived there in our neighborhood in the 60s. Graduated Adamson 1975. Was in the marching band, jazz band and concert band. 1st chair Trumpet. The times then were so good. Favorite radio station was KLIF 11 90 AM and my flying frizbees at Rugged Drive Park. Oak Cliff is in my blood.
