In a nod to a once-forgotten pioneering achievement, Dallas takes a plunge back into history with “Rise: The Hall of Negro Life,” a documentary commemorating the groundbreaking 1936 exhibition at the Texas Centennial World’s Fair. The original Hall of Negro Life stood as a trailblazer, celebrating the contributions and artistry of Black artists-an initiative that had the resilience of African-American leaders to thank for its existence, according to the City of Dallas.
