(Otto Mation) Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 elnina999 has added a photo to the pool: This community is commonly known as Fourth Ward, but its original name is Freedmen's Town, given by freed slaves who settled it. Although Freedmen's Town is a nationally registered historical site, and the largest intact freed slave settlement left in the entire nation, its official designation protects only 40 of the 80 blocks or more of the remaining Freedmen's Town area. To honor and to further cumulative efforts to save Freedmen's Town, help is needed to start a "Habitat for History" chapter, integrating student internships, fellowships, and educational grants with work opportunities in the areas of housing reconstruction, legal and historical research, and campus and museum development.www.isocracytx.net/hp-org/FTAbrief.html Click here to view this photo at the HAIF Photo Pool on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
