FREE Freedmen's Town: Save the only District of Freed Slave Churches & Civil Rights History as a Campus for Vet Housing

Created by E.N. on January 23, 2013

Freedmen's Town, a national historic site, is the only landmark in America of Freed Slave churches, Civil Rights and Military history. Residents plan to restore the District as a community campus, and to save the last 10 historic rowhouses for Veterans. http://www.freedmenstown.com But the City of Houston plans to destroy the history by removing the houses, without asking your help to save them. Under the Executive Order for African American Education, and White House initiatives for Veteran jobs and housing, please support Freedmen's Town plans to save the houses and churches, as a tribute to our national African American Civil Rights history and future, by creating a model Campus to end poverty for Residents through job training in Vet housing, health services, and business management.
