Long before Juneteenth became a national conversation, Galveston was shaping culture, education, and opportunity for African Americans in Texas and far beyond. The island has long been home to trailblazers, educators, and community leaders who built institutions that continue to serve the community today.
That history is still visible across the island in schools, libraries, and landmarks.
Black History Month is a time to recognize the achievements and contributions of Black Americans. Black history is Galveston history! 🌴#BlackHistoryMonth
