Welcome to the Black Police Association Dallas Chapter

Greetings BPA DALLAS Members,

As the President of The Black Police Association – Dallas Chapter I warmly extend my sincere thanks to all of the members who support the organization and our efforts to transform the BPA-Dallas into more than the status quo police association. I am deeply indebted to all of you for your support. I certainly believe that better days are ahead for the BPA-Dallas, but nothing worth having will come without struggle and sacrifice. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes,

“That man will get nothing except that for which he strives for and the fruit of his strivings he will soon see.”

The BPA Dallas’ history is replete with examples of our commitment to the universal struggle of minorities for equity, fairness, justice and freedom. The BPA Dallas has traveled a great distance from the secret meetings held at the Alpha House on Good-Latimer Expressway. Not only did the BPA-Dallas step out of the shadows, we stepped into the tempest and garnered the respect of friend and foe alike. Our reputation as being an advocacy organization has been heralded nationally and internationally. Why are not all of those who have been disenfranchised by the system not members of the BPA-Dallas? They do not know, they do not show or they simply do not care. Our very existence is owed but not limited to William McDuff, Lee Bilal (Brotherton), BJ Thomas, William Starks, and Jesse Dawson.

BPA-Dallas’ strivings have not been without casualties, pain and sacrifice. Every conflict known to man has left some along the wayside battered and torn asunder. Our struggle has been based on the nobility of our faith that doing right and accomplishing right has its own reward. We contend against our enemies and those of us who have been marginalized by the trappings of this world. The BPA-Dallas is constantly seeking conscious individuals who understand the importance of solidarity, trustworthiness, honesty, loyalty and self love. BPA-Dallas members understand the need to embrace our culture without sacrificing who we are as a people. It is our mission and one in which we cannot fail.

The BPA-Dallas strives to mentor, model and motivate our youth toward productive endeavors. We cannot sit silently where our youth are killed and our future is left without leaders. We recognize the thinly veiled attempts by MTV, BET, HBO, and other media outlets to entrance and estrange our children from the very values designed to ensure their survival. We also recognize that blame rest at the doorsteps of our very own houses. Collectively, Black America will spend over 700 billion dollars this year and yet we do not own or control any agriculture combine, television network, or alternative information collection sites or national clearinghouse. We must learn to lead and teach our children about nation building.

The core business of the BPA-Dallas has been providing tangible benefits to our membership. However, as community stakeholders of the BPA-Dallas we would remiss if our outreach only touched our membership. Since 1975, the BPA-Dallas has given more than $100,000 in college scholarships to area youth. Every time we think we have done enough – our ancestors cry out, “There is much more to do!” We have learned that to ask, “How much more?” is an affront to our memory and an impediment to our future is.

The BPA-Dallas needs your commitment and support to sustain the distance we have created from nothingness to something more. We have done an excellent job of defending our members against the injustices that consistently permeate the shields of our very own existence. We have been there for our members in all times of need when the chips were on the table. We have often asked for nothing in return. We have appreciated the support of those who believe in the mission and travel the roads that seem all too familiar. We appreciate your unwavering support of the BPA-Dallas.

Two-Thousand Five will certainly bring change for the BPA-Dallas, but our commitment to you will never change.
