@_homesbykonjanfit: When you look up the city of Mansfield, Tx today, google will tell you, “Mansfield is recognized for its vibrant community events and its role in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.” However, that statement is far from its stark reality that was in 1956. You see Mansfield would be at the center of a huge segregation battle where black high schoolers weren’t allowed to enrolled in the city schools. They would be met with racial slurs, threats of death, and the then governor would even aid the protesters that was looking to cause harm to the students. This is the story that once was of Mansfield, before it became what it currently is. #fyp #historytok #mansfieldtx #dallastexas #BlackHistory

I went to Mansfield schools and I was taught this history. One of teachers who taught us that history was actually a black student during that time of segregation and all here in Mansfield.

If anyone wants to go pay respects at the cemetery, there are hundreds of unmarked graves in the back at the Mansfield cemetery.

Yep. I can tell you they separated Mansfield High and Mansfield Summit for a reason. When I graduated from Summit it was the minority school. They drew a line right down the center of Turner Warnell. The minority neighborhood on Summit’s side got sent there, while kids right across the street went to Mansfield.

I've been in Texas for 47 years and there's still so much history that I'm still learning. When I was a teenager, we moved from HEB to Springtown. In the late 90's-early 2000's, there were still men handing out Klan flyers at the Azle Whataburger.

Born and raised in Mansfield(still here). I remember as a kid the minorities stayed more on West Broad. We only went on the other side to get food and school. When it start getting dark we knew where to be. Nobody talks about the hangings and racism except family.
