Description

Why don’t we know more about one of the most robust Black communities in Houston history? Producer Carlignon Jones is with Debra Blacklock-Sloan, lead docent and historical researcher for the Yates Museum, and Gladys House, a native Freedmen's Town resident, to talk about Freedman Town (now known as Freedmen’s Town) and why it’s so important to the history of H-Town.
