“The past is never dead,” William Faulkner hauntingly reminds us of the South, “It’s not even past.” Black History Month is an important time for reflecting upon our past and present, dedicating time to explore aspects of Denton history both praiseworthy and shameful as we together strive towards the betterment of our community. Yet remembrance and public memory are never without struggle, which has been true since back in the day.

WHAT WE DID: NOVEMBER 9TH

Another packed week in Denton. The DIME Store had their Handmade Harvest, we got to check out Summit Gym, people showed up at 7:30 a.m. for an InstaDFW photo-meet, and much more. We're sure the beautiful November weather helped to put us all in good moods. Although, the less-beautiful November allergies are kind of kicking our butt right now. Oh well. 72 degree weather makes it worth it. 

Below are 19 photos from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX. We do this every Monday and call it What We Did. Photos are by both We Denton Do It readers and staffers. 

If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. As always, we're limited in the photos we can post, but we encourage you to search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that we were unable to include this week. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page.
