{"product_id":"north-dallas-the-new-black-mecca-2","title":"North Dallas: The New Black Mecca","description":"North Dallas: The New Black Mecca by Dr. Billy Smith\nWhat happens when success means leaving your roots behind?\nIn this powerful collection of poetic essays, Dr. Billy Smith examines the unspoken cost of Black upward mobility in North Dallas. From gated communities to church politics, school integration to social isolation, Smith explores how progress can quietly disconnect us from the very communities that shaped us.\nThis is a book for anyone who’s ever felt torn between elevation and authenticity—between “making it” and staying grounded.\nRaw, reflective, and unapologetically honest, North Dallas: The New Black Mecca is a must-read for those navigating race, identity, and belonging in today’s America.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FPP92FD9\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FPP92FD9.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Smith, Dr.  Billy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
