The Tenth Street Historic District is one of the few remaining Freedmen’s Towns in the United States—settlements established by formerly enslaved African Americans after the Civil War. Located near the Cedar Crest area, this historically Black neighborhood is home to significant cultural and historical landmarks. Although many original structures have been lost, preservation efforts continue to highlight its legacy. For those interested in African-American history and civil rights, the Tenth Street Historic District is an essential part of Dallas’ past, reflecting both the struggle and resilience of its earliest Black residents.
