Juanita Craft Civil Rights House
The Juanita Craft Civil Rights House is the historic home of Juanita Craft, one of Dallas' most influential and recognized civil rights leaders.

The Juanita Craft Civil Rights House is one of six cultural centers owned and operated by The City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs. The House serves to increase the public's awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the significance of Juanita Craft in the Civil Rights movement in the City of Dallas, the State of Texas, and the United States.
