In the 1960s, the Redmon family cafe was part of the southeast Denton community, openly serving black people at a time when white restaurant owners in North Texas were rejecting them.
Located across the street from Fred Moore High School, the community has been there since the 1930s, shortly after city leaders and voters were forced to relocate from Quakertown to Solomon Hill in southeast Denton.
