Project of the Century: Junior League Dallas Partners with the Juanita Craft Civil Rights House
In 1935, Juanita Jewel Craft joined the NAACP. Her determined efforts toward anti-discrimination and civil rights over the course of her life have cemented her legacy as a hero of the people. Her home, a white craftsman bungalow just south of Fair Park in Dallas where she resided for 50 years, was already in need of restoration when it was flooded by a broken fire sprinkler pipe in 2018. Now, in celebration of their upcoming 100th anniversary, the Junior League of Dallas (JLD) has adopted the Juanita Craft Civil Rights House as its centennial project.
