From Plantation to Emancipation
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 06/28/2025
Travel back in time during this 90-minute experience. Stepping into The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park, you embark on a unique journey through history. Tour three (3) historic houses that tell Houston's stories from plantation to emancipation that are UNESCO Sites of Memory through the “Routes of Enslaved Peoples Project.” See and listen to a talented actress Kijanna Wiseman who brings to life the hardships of slavery and the victory of freedom through song and theatrics. Where else can you hear the stories drawn from a script penned by Martha Whiting-Goddard, a descendant of Reverend Jack Yates, who once lived in one of the houses you explore?
