at the University of North Texas, Dallas
We are in Dallas, Texas again for the 2023 Aya Symposium for in-person experience.
Join us for another engaging, informational and inspiring day on things Texas Freedom Colonies, as well as other historical African American settlements.
2023 Theme:
Technology: A New Frontier in Telling your Freedom Colony Story
This year’s annual symposium, held at community centers or universities, is focused on enhancing the average community member’s understanding of tools available to them as they preserve, document, and promote their freedom colonies. This means introducing a “pen and paper heritage conservationist” to tools that can make data gathering more effective and easier to access while helping the computer-savvy person get the most out of the apps they may currently use and introducing them to even newer tools.
