In honor of Black History Month and Rosa Parks’ birthday (which was February 4th), The Austin Common teamed up with CapMetro and Javier Wallace (of Black Austin Tours) to go on a Black History Tour of Austin.

The tour highlighted the many Austinites who fought to end racial segregation on our city’s transit systems, including Myrtle Washington, Howellen Bunton Taylor, and Arthur DeWitty. You can learn more about them by watching the short video below.
