Shalondria Galimore, president of the South Central Civic League and a resident of Joppa, says the land has historical significance to the Freedman's Town on the edge of Oak Cliff in Southern Dallas. Melissa Pierce, the daughter of a former slave, donated the land that became at K-12 school. The school closed in 1968 after desegregation.Habitat for Humanity now owns the land and brought a proposal to build 30 homes on four of the 11 acres.
Dallas Habitat CEO Bill Eubanks said in a statement, "Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity has built more than 150 homes and repaired nearly 100 homes in the Joppa community since 1986. While the details of these homesites are still in discussions, we look forward to working with all parties to ensure that 30 more deserving families are able to achieve the dream of homeownership right here in Dallas.
