Hidden History DFW

Memorial day is approaching and Black history is the lead into its history.

BLACK HISTORY IS 365.

African Americans celebrated MEMORIAL DAY long before it was an official holiday.

Harvard University uncovered this HIDDEN HISTORY in the late 1990s. Historians learned about a Memorial Day commemoration organized by a group of freed Black slaves less than a month after the Confederacy surrendered in 1865.

Learn more about this discovery and how one of the earliest Memorial Day celebration was held by freed slaves.

The 2nd largest Freedmen’s community in Dallas' history just got easier to learn about.

An ongoing effort to collect artifacts and stories about the Freedmen’s town is now a digital museum, thanks to a Library of Congress grant and the determination of the Tenth Street community and a tech company.
