Tell us your story.
Nominate your neighbor.

Bridge-builders are people who create relationships that cut across the lines of difference, and often across lines of hostility, misunderstanding, or conflict. 

 

Anyone, no matter what their occupation or identity, can be a bridge-builder by helping to forge ties across what would otherwise divide us: borders, bias, language barriers, socioeconomic status, religion, and more.

​

We believe there are untold stories of bridge-building all across Dallas. Help us celebrate them.

Thanks for submitting!

In 500 words or less, write a story about a "neighbor" (a person you know, a person in your community, a person in your family or ancestry, a figure of local historical importance, etc.) who you consider an exemplar of bridge-building.  

 

Answer the following questions in your story:

  • Who is the neighbor you're nominating as a bridge-builder?

  • What does bridge-building mean to you, and why are they an exemplar bridge-builder?  

  • What is the nature of their bridge-building work?

  • What inspired you about them and their work? 

  • What was their impact on the wider community?

 

Criteria:

  • The person can be living or deceased.

  • The exemplar person must be a former or current Greater Dallas resident.
