Through Tues.,Feb. 16, 2016The Star of the Republic Museum at Washington on the Brazos State Park willcontinue its current exhibit, Enduring Spirit: African Americans in NineteenthCentury Texas. The first African Americans in Texas were free men, seekingopportunity and advancement, along with many others. But the laws of the newlyformed Republic of Texas forced them out and opened the door to thousands ofenslaved people who served as the backbone of the labor force for almost thirtyyears. Finally gaining their freedom after the Civil War, they discovered that theirstruggle was far from over. Artifacts include typical documents of the period suchas slave records, freedmen contracts, and an oath of allegiance. Stoneware potterymade at the Wilson Pottery near Seguin is included, as well as an example of theintricate Pine Burr pattern quilt. See http://www.starmuseum.org.Return to Journal Index125
