Making Us Count:

Reclaiming the Texas Freedom Colony Legacies of Activism and Engagement in 2020

“Being counted” in 2020 – both on the census roles and in the voting booth – is of generational import.  This year's Symposium will guide attendees in exploring the role of Texas freedom colonies – throughout history, and into the present – in “Making Us Count” through, protesting, educating, voting, and other methods of community organizing and civic engagement to insure that the voices of Black Texans are heard.
