DALLAS — Every street of the Elm Thicket-Northpark neighborhood, east of Love Field, tells the same story.
The game is mostly over for this northwest Dallas community, where racism relegated Black residents almost 100 years ago and newcomers’ million-dollar McMansions today tower over once-affordable traditional frame cottages.
Elm Thicket-Northpark is now the developers’ neighborhood, not that of the generations of Black doctors, lawyers, musicians, elected officials and everyday families who raised their kids here.
