The State of Black Texas | Episode 1: The History of Black Texans

Описание: African Americans have been part of the Texas landscape for as long as Europeans, spanning five
centuries. Along with the rest of the nation, the African American/Black population of Texas is becoming more ethnically diverse and more diverse. As the ebb and flow of Black migration continues it is likely that more Blacks will continue to call Texas home and that Texas will continue to grow in importance as an epicenter for Black community and advancement.

In this interview series, TPPF's Dr. Richard Johnson examines the history of Black Texans and the policies the state can pursue to improve educational and economic opportunities for the African American community.

This first episode with Texas Southern University's Dr. Michael O. Adams looks back on the experience of Black Texans from slavery to the Civil Rights Era to the modern day.

The Texas Public Policy Foundation’s mission is to promote and defend liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise in Texas and the nation by educating and affecting policymakers and the Texas public policy debate with academically sound research and outreach.

Funded by thousands of individuals, foundations, and corporations, the Foundation does not accept government funds or contributions to influence the outcomes of its research.

The public is demanding a different direction for their government, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation is providing the ideas that enable policymakers to chart that new course.
