Stop by Dallas City Hall on 7/21 for How Dallas Takes Shape! You don’t have to be a zoning expert to be part of the conversation, simply interested in understanding how zoning connects to your everyday life.

The City of Dallas Planning & Development is launching the Zoning 101 Tour to help make a topic that can feel complicated, technical, or out of reach a little easier to understand. Planning staff will be there to break things down, answer questions, and help connect zoning to everyday life in Dallas, from where we live and work to how we move, gather, and grow.
The goal: a Development Code that is simple, clear, and future ready.

The African American Museum, Dallas will present the 37th Annual Texas Black Invitational Rodeo on Saturday, July 25, at Fair Park Coliseum.

This family-friendly event showcases Black cowboys and cowgirls competing in bronc and bull riding, calf and steer roping, barrel racing and the Pony Express relay race. It also highlights the often-overlooked contributions African Americans made to the settlement of the American West.

This year’s rodeo will pay tribute to the late Cleo Hearn, affectionately known as “Mr. Black Rodeo.” The National Rodeo Hall of Famer spent more than 50 years breaking racial barriers and educating audiences about the diverse history of the American West. Today, his four sons are carrying his legacy forward through this beloved Dallas tradition.

El Museo Afroamericano de Dallas celebrará la 37.ª edición del Rodeo Anual «Texas Black Invitational» el sábado 25 de julio en el Fair Park Coliseum.

Este evento, apto para toda la familia, cuenta con la participación de vaqueros y vaqueras afroamericanos que compiten en montas de potros salvajes y toros, lazo de terneros y novillos, carreras de barriles y la carrera de relevos «Pony Express». Además, destaca las contribuciones, a menudo ignoradas, que los afroamericanos hicieron a la colonización del Oeste estadounidense.

El rodeo de este año rendirá homenaje al difunto Cleo Hearn, conocido cariñosamente como «Mr. Black Rodeo». Este miembro del Salón de la Fama Nacional del Rodeo dedicó más de 50 años a romper barreras raciales y a dar a conocer al público la diversa historia del Oeste estadounidense. Hoy en día, sus cuatro hijos continúan su legado a través de esta querida tradición de Dallas.
