The Hon. Anita Martinez was a trailblazer. The first Mexican American to serve on Dallas City Council in 1969. She paved the way for me and other Latina’s to serve our City. Thank you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

With profound sorrow and deep gratitude, the Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico honors the life and legacy of our beloved founder, The Honorable Anita N. Martinez (1925-2026).

Through her vision, passion, and unwavering commitment to our community, she created a space where generations of young people have discovered their identity, celebrated their culture, and believed in their dreams.

She was more than a leader—she was a mentor, a trailblazer, and a fierce advocate who broke barriers as the first Mexican-American woman elected to the Dallas City Council, fighting tirelessly on behalf of the working poor and the most vulnerable among us.

Her legacy lives on in every step we dance, every story we share, and every life we uplift—and in the community she so proudly served.

Started the day with the instillation of Community Art Work at Tipton Park in Westmoreland Heights.

Thank you to artist Peyton Harshfield for this beautiful artwork.

The piece it is a thematic series of three larger-than-life sculptures
that tell the story of community history and multicultural legacy.

Together, the sculptures form a visual timeline: “Legacy of the Land”
honors the resilience of residents, “UniTREE” celebrates the city’s
growth and interwoven cultural tapestry and “Wings of Resilience”
envisions a prosperous and innovative future.

The pieces are designed to be dual sided for multiple perspectives, the sculptures serve as meaningful, interactive landmarks that foster community pride, connection, and reflection on the community’s heritage and achievements found here in Westmoreland Heights.
