Description:

The Texas Freedom Colonies Project puts freedom colonies on the map, on policy agendas, and at the center of Texas history. Our goal is to prevent the erasure, destruction, and decay of cultural properties within Black settlements in partnership with descendant communities. The Texas Freedom Colonies Project recently released the Texas African American Cemetery Registry.
