When driving through the Fourth Ward of Houston today, one can still see pieces of the history of Freedman's Town, the community founded by free African-Americans in the 19th century, scattered between modern houses and downtown Houston's skyrises.
###About the project
This project looks at consumption patterns across three sites in Freedman's Town:
-
The Yates House, which was built by local businessman Rutherford B. H. Yates in 1912
-
The house of J. Vance Lewis, a prominent African-American lawyer
