In partnership with St. Paul United Methodist Church, 1816 Routh Street
Founded in 1873 under a brush arbor in Dallas’ Freedman’s Town, built by freed slaves, and restored by Sidney Pittman, St. Paul celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2023.
Dr. King’s movement poses an uneasy problem, a problem both spiritual and political, an ongoing challenge for individuals of all races and for cities, including Dallas. Expanding upon the recent Big D Reads initiative focusing on our city’s racial history, the Dallas Institute’s MLK Symposium considers new ways to engage Dr. King’s enduring challenge today.
