The Racial Equity Plan was unveiled at Dallas City Hall Wednesday and called to reverse the impact of racist bias in many neighborhoods.
Camile White, Dallas ISD Trustee, spoke to the council Wednesday about the day later response she received to fireworks in her Pleasant Grove neighborhood.
“Equality does not do the people who’ve already been forgotten about any justice because they’re starting on a playing field that is not level. So I am extremely happy with the work that you all have done. I’m extremely happy with the direction our city is heading in,” Adam Bazaldua, District 7 councilman, said about the plan.
In the past, Anglo city council members from North Dallas fought for equal spending. Now, members of that background on the Dallas City Council now are generally on board with the shift to equity. “We’re trying to lower the tax rate. We’re trying to fix streets. We’ve got a homeless crisis,” Atkins said. “I still don’t have the trash picked up. I still don’t have enough police officers.”
