About this listen

Emmy winner. Presidential Leadership Scholar. Dallas 500 Most Powerful.

Jerry L. Hawkins has spent his career making sure Black history doesn't disappear. As the leader of Dallas Truth Racial Healing & Transformation for nearly seven years, producer of the PBS/KERA documentary Recovering The Stories, and now writing A People's History of Dallas, dropping in 2027, he's not just preserving the past. He's building the archive the future will learn from.

This conversation goes deep into what racial healing actually requires, why most cities get it wrong, and what it takes to make Black history permanent in a city that's always changing.
