As a nation we’ve collectively tapped into the importance of history, truth, and justice over these past few years. One thing’s become abundantly clear to us:
We need connection. We are interdependent. We collaborate and work together even while we stand apart. We need one another because we are stronger together.
The Houston Freedmen’s Town Conservancy is working with the guardian’s of history in Freedmen’s Town because the ONLY way we can protect this historic community is through collective action.
Freedmen’s Town is a critical part of not only Texas’ and Houston’s history, but our nation’s history. It is crucial that “stories of freedom that transpired” in this historic place be kept alive and told to generations to come.
Just as the homes, churches, and parks built over 150 years ago by African Americans are part of this unique cultural attraction, gifts made today will be working 150 years from now-and beyond to support the rebirth and sustainability of Freedmen’s Town, Houston’s “Mother Ward”.
