Please make sure to put September 1st at 6:00 p.m meeting on your calendar at the Pavilion in CC Young Senior Living.
Dinner will begin serving at 6 and our speaker will begin at 7. Clarence Glover, Jr is our next speaker who will be sharing his past 40 years of research of the pioneers that settled and built North Texas.
Professor Clarence E. Glover, Jr. is a DCPA member and President of Sankofa Education Services, offering historical and cultural education to African-American youth in North Texas. A native of Shreveport, Louisiana and graduate of Grambling State University, his journey brought him to Dallas and SMU’s Perkins School of Theology where he served on the faculty from 1980 to 1994. The professor then served as Assistant Superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District from 1994 to 2010 and was the district’s Administrator of Multicultural Education. Since coming to Dallas, he has researched the stories and the contributions of the early black pioneers to the area. His family’s history is connected to that of white pioneers William and George Glover who came to this area from Alabama in the 1840s and settled in what is today Dallas’ Urbandale neighborhood. Professor Glover is also an ordained Christian Methodist Episcopal Minister and the founding Pastor of First African Freedom Church in Dallas.
We are continuing our “Bring a Guest” if you bring a new guest to our meeting, you and your guest will enjoy the meal with our complements. Unfortunately, the Board had to raise the cost of meals going forward to $20 as CC Young has increased our cost. All we ask is that you call 972-260-9334 and make reservations for you and your guest by August 29, 2022.
