In the heart of East Dallas lies White Rock Valley, a 1.4 -square-mile neighborhood known for its close-knit community of white-collar families. The neighborhood boasts everything a middle-class family could want: beautifully shaded sidewalks lining the affluent homes, a spacious park and police station nearby, a neighborhood school within a five-minute walk from any house, and even White Rock Lake, just across the street from the community. White Rock Valley is the perfect place to live. But behind the seemingly perfect neighborhood lies a dark history of classism and racism that would eventually influence the minds of an entire school district. Through their decades-long actions, White Rock Valley exemplifies a larger issue where powerful individuals use their privilege and affluence to serve their interests, often while employing exclusionary narratives.
