Javier Wallace, founder of Black Austin Tours, presents an engaging and interactive lecture featuring Austin’s Black History.
“This VIRTUAL historic tour will take us through the beginnings of Austin’s Black community through the present. Guests will learn about The City of Austin’s 1928 Master Plan and creation of the “Negro District”, which was centered around East 11th Street. We will “virtually” visit important sites and institutions throughout our one-mile journey. Guests will also be able to engage in dialogue about the changing nature of East Austin and the city’s Black community. A large part of this experience is to support local Black owned businesses in the neighborhood.” Please see Black Austin Tours website for more info: https://blackaustintours.com/
