Students take a trip down black history road | Fort Worth | News from Fort Worth, Dallas...: FORT WORTH — A two-hour bus tour could be the city’s most appropriate Black History Month vehicle, said Dayon Harris.
“It may sound cliche, but the biggest thing I can think of is you don’t know where you’re going unless you know where you came from,” said Harris, a student development associate at Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus. “We had so many people doing great things during the time of segregation. We had great churches, great hospitals and great people doing things we can be proud of.”
The college, which sponsored the recent tour, found an excellent guide to help TCC students and others appreciate the origin and evolution of Fort Worth’s African-American communities: Sarah Walker, president of Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Society.
