South Dallas, affectionately and often referred to by residents as “Sunny South Dallas,” has always been a vibrant area with a rich history. Tucked just below the Dallas city center, South Dallas is the birthplace of the likes of Grammy-winning artist, Erykah Badu, anti-apartheid activist, Desmond Tutu and the prominent Church of God in Christ Bishop, Charles E. Blake. For plenty of the right reasons, South Dallas has earned its place on the map as a cultural hub, worthy of respect.
