Vision of W. Marvin Dulaney Branch of ASALH
To shed light on the rich histories of Black Texans; and, in so doing, honor the namesake of our branch and promote the study of Black experiences as Dr. Woodson had envisioned it.
The WM Dulaney ASALH branch, is hosting an upcoming Juneteenth celebration, which will be broadcast nationally by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH).
This event will feature a symposium on the history and the celebration of Juneteenth. Additionally, we will have the talented violinist Clover, who will perform music highlighting the cultural traditions of Juneteenth.
Before the main activities commence at 11:30 AM, Mrs. Opal will be hosting a special walk at the fairgrounds. Please register at https://opalswalkdallastx.raceroster.com/.
Below you will find a detailed flyer outlining the schedule of activities and other relevant information.
Every Saturday in May at the Anderson Bonner Park, 12000 Park Central Dr., Dallas, TX 75230.
Hi there Great People.
We are excited to announce Season 3 of Read with Dr. Wade and Friends Book Club!
Our highlighted book is “Groundings With My Brothers” by Walter Rodney. Join us on each Saturday in May, starting May 4th for a Unique Learning Experience. One of our gracious Sponsors from California has provided a limited number of books for our Members, so secure your spot early to claim one of those copies.
*** OUR FAVORITE PART: This Season We will be meeting at the historic Anderson Bonner Park. Anderson Bonner was a former slave who later owned 2,000 acres of land in North Dallas. A recent article by WFAA says, “Bonner couldn’t read or write, but he knew how to live off the land. Piece by piece he bought property along White Rock Creek and across present -day North Dallas, near where 75 meets the LBJ Freeway.”
-What a neat location to explore our book, don’t you think? Yesss! We are so excited!

The partnership of the African American Museum of Dallas and W.M. Dulaney Branch of ASALH presents “COMMUNITY AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY CLASS”.
This class has a dual purpose. It focuses on the adoption of Freedmen Schools during the civil rights movement, initiated by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Mississippi and Alabama. These schools played a crucial role in educating African Americans and fostering a sense of identity and pride through teaching African American History.
It also combats the national ban on teaching African American History.
We are thrilled to announce the remarkable achievements of our first-time participants and winners at the prestigious 2024 Heritage Bowl. Richardson High School of Richardson, Texas, emerged victorious in the high school category, under the guidance of Coach Ms. Mauriqua Owens.
In the middle school category, Katherine Johnson Technical Magnet Academy of Desoto, Texas, showcased talent and knowledge to clinch victory under the mentorship and guidance of Dr. Jamal Rasheed.
Join us in congratulating these outstanding teams for their exceptional performance and unwavering commitment to excellence.
