That's a long way from Hamilton Park, the neighborhood white Dallas built in the 1950s to keep black Dallas quiet, and where Harris' grandparents were among the first homeowners. His playing career over, Harris lives near The Colony and works as a private coach. But in his off hours, he's in the old neighborhood up near the High Five or down at Dallas City Hall, [begging officials to give the Hamilton Park kids an indoor gym at their tiny neighborhood rec center]( instead of the fenced-in, slippery concrete slab that sits outside the center built decades ago on a low-ball bid.
