Freedom Schools will offer participants an opportunity to learn about African American history as part of a national effort to counter state legislatures’ attempts to prevent the teaching of accurate African American history in public schools.

Royce West Celebrity Golf Classic
September 20, 2024 - 8:30 am
The Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame (TBSHOF), housed at the African American Museum, was established to chronicle the sports history contributions made by African Americans. It was established in 1996 to honor coaches and athletes of high character and athletic achievement, who are either Texans by birth or by athletic participation (collegiate or professional), and who have made recognizable contributions to African American culture and/or history. The general public submits the nominees, and a panel of judges (including sports/media journalists) makes the final selection.
