Deep Ellum used to be a hotbed for local music. Lower Greenville was once a music strip. Many area venues have closed and fewer publications are covering local music.
Can musicians make it in North Texas? Email your thoughts to [email protected].

Three headstones and a brick cross mark the graves of those interred at the cemetery within the Pflugerville Historic Colored Addition. As families have left the area, cemetery upkeep has fallen by the wayside, an issue seen across the country for historically Black cemeteries.

#NationalBiketoWorkDay is happening later this week and is meant to encourage cycling and bike safety. But for communities like Del Valle where infrastructure like bike lanes and sidewalks are sporadic, cycling safely can be a challenge.

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

I've been saying this for ages: but hiring "new" diverse talent does NOTHING for an organization that can't staunch the bleeding of JOC exits.
If your house is on fire, you don't throw a party and invite new friends in. You focus on putting out the fire + saving the ppl inside.
