Lives Remembered: Black History in Pease Park
From publicly posted calendar Checked 14 mins ago
About this event
One of 26 upcoming events at Pease Park Conservancy, and 1,283 across Austin.
The site of today's Pease District Park was part of the 365-acre Woodlawn homestead owned by former Texas Governor E. M. Pease and his wife, Lucadia. Although Governor Pease supported the Union during the Civil War, research has found that at least 37 individuals were directly enslaved or leased as enslaved labor by the Pease family. This tour recognizes and shares some of the stories of a few of these people. REGISTER HERE
