Black History Month
Enveloped in the planning process
The Texas Freedom Colonies Project founded by Andrea Roberts, PhD, aims to map settlements where enslaved African Americans lived. Through her work, Roberts recognizes the importance of integrating historic preservationists into planning and ensuring African Americans are fully enveloped in planning processes, not just called upon when needed. Planning catches up with Roberts two years after first reporting about The Texas Freedom Colonies Project. |

Learn how action researchers and preservationists worked with descendants of Freedom Colonies to combine local knowledge with research expertise, empowering the Shankleville, Texas, community to tell their story. |
