DeSoto Rising: How Did We Get Here

The documentary explores the racial and socio-economic transition of DeSoto beginning with the district’s origins as a predominantly white, rural farm community in the 1930s and ‘40s to an affluent, majority African American community of the 1980s and ‘90s. The documentary goes on to explore a new spectrum of socio-economic diversity with a growing Latinx community who desires to be heard and represented.
