In 1950 Dallas was a spirited Texas town of some regional
importance; by 1980 it was an international city, one of the
nation’s most populous, a center of trade, transportation,
finance, pro sports, and popular culture. Historic Photos of Dallas
in the 50s, 60s, and 70s documents this amazing
transformation with seldom-seen photographs of the period. Nearly
200 historic images show Dallas in the process of refashioning its
skyline, its streets, its institutions, its public behavior, and
its sense of self and worth. Historic Photos of Dallas in the
50s, 60s, and 70s blends striking black-and-white images with
crisp commentary to chronicle moments of joy, pride, and anguish
during these tumultuous decades. This volume takes readers back to
the not-so-long-ago Dallas of trolley buses, downtown movie
theaters, and four-lane expressways, then shows how the city
transcended its parochial beginnings to become one of the most
dynamic American cities of the twentieth century.
