Juanita J. Craft, one of Dallas´ most significant civil rights figures and the second African American woman to serve on the Dallas City Council. Programming at the Juanita Craft Civil Rights House is coordinated by the South Dallas Cultural Center of the City of Dallas’ Office of Cultural Affairs.</p> <p>In 1935, Craft joined the NAACP, and in the years that followed, she started 182 rural NAACP chapters.Craft joined demonstrations against the segregated University of Texas Law School and North Texas State University, each resulting in successful lawsuits in 1950 and 1955. Afterwards, she opened a dropout preparation program in Dallas. Craft also served as a delegate to the White House Conference on Children and Youth, and as a member of the Governor’s Human Relations Committee. In 1975, at the age of 73, she was elected to the Dallas City Council, where she spent two terms working to improve the status of Hispanic and Native Americans.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <p class="has-text-align-center has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background"><strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://dallasculture.org/cultural-venues/juanita-craft-house/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffffff" class="tadv-color"><span style="background-color:#cf2e2e" class="tadv-background-color">Click here to learn more about the Juanita J.
