In this episode
Since its post-Civil War settlement, Deep Ellum has been a place of commerce and art, rich in history of Black Dallas and the Texas blues. It was a place where the lines of division became blurred and immigrants, often Jewish people from Eastern Europe, started businesses and other businesses. With a night life came violence. Deep Ellum is changing today, mainly because it’s becoming what it never really was – a place to live. But his past always stays with him. The question is, what will become of Deep Ellum?
