We’re joined by Adam Griffin who’s a pastor at Eastside Community Church in East Dallas and has an educational background studying the historical context of racial division Dallas.
Adam continues to take us all over East Dallas and we begin this episode discussing Deep Ellum, head to Griggs Park, talk some more history of the city and end the ride with a visit to Freedmen’s cemetery in Dallas. Gerin walks around and reads several plaques and monuments with inscriptions out loud so you can really feel the weight and significance of one of the largest freedmen cemeteries in the country.
