We Remain True To Our Cause

According to WFAA today, Hispanic community leaders are upset that Industrial was not renamed for Cesar Chavez already. While Cesar Chavez was a political activist that worked for laborer's rights, he was not a Texan, he was not from Dallas and he did not do his primary works here.

The community is voicing back that we want one of the sons of Dallas to be honored by the renaming of Industrial.


We are asking that the Dallas City Council to rename Industrial for Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  • Stevie was born in Dallas.
  • Stevie was raised in the Oak Cliff area.
  • Stevie's final resting place is at Laurel Land Cemetery
Stevie is one of our own and his time has come for Dallas to publicly recognize him - a recognition that everyone from the City of Austin to Fender Guitars bestowed upon him years ago.

The public petition addressed to the Dallas City Council can be signed at the following link -- make your voices heard -- we want Stevie recognized and honored.
