Dallas Democratic Forum presents "The Accommodation: Dallas and the Cotton-Picking Truth" Luncheon Conversation with Professor Clarency E. Glover, Jr. and Jim Schutze

Join the Dallas Democratic Forum for a very special Black History Month presentation with two Dallas icons on Presidents’ Day. They will explore the significant role that cotton played as an economic engine that grew the city of Dallas. Jim Schutze, author of the now famous book The Accommodation: The Politics of Race in an American City will speak with Professor Clarence E. Glover, Jr., an expert on how African American cotton pickers during the periods of slavery and Jim Crow, built the economic base for the South, particularly in Dallas.
