📚✨ Discovering Black History in Fort Worth, Texas!

I had the pleasure of visiting the WMC Prince Hall Masonic Library and Museum, where Mason, owner of Soul of Fort Worth History Tours, serves as curator of this incredible collection. There is SO much history housed in this museum!

Prince Hall Freemasonry traces its roots to 1775, when Prince Hall and 14 other Black men were initiated into Freemasonry in Boston. After facing racial exclusion from established Masonic lodges, Hall petitioned for an independent charter, which was granted in 1784. His leadership helped establish a historic Black fraternal institution dedicated to brotherhood, education, mutual aid, and community advancement.

This legacy grew into a powerful institution within the African American community, helping generations of Black men build networks of leadership, service, and solidarity.

I’m always excited to discover the stories, institutions, and people that have shaped Black history but are too often overlooked. Fort Worth has so much history to share! ❤️🖤💚

🤠🎨 A visit to the Sid Richardson Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, is a must for lovers of Western art—and admission is FREE!

From stunning paintings and sculptures to decorative saddles, the collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the American West. I was especially captivated by two paintings depicting Buffalo Soldiers: one showing them at rest and another capturing them practicing acrobatic tricks on horseback. These works offered a compelling glimpse into the lives, skills, and experiences of Black soldiers in the American West. 🇺🇸🐎

History, art, and untold stories—all in one place!

🐂 Exploring Fort Worth’s Stockyards!

I had the pleasure of taking an official Stockyards tour with a knowledgeable local whose family has called the area home for generations. It was fascinating to learn about Fort Worth’s cattle industry, meatpacking, and the Chisholm Trail, where Black cowboys played a vital role in driving cattle from Texas to Kansas and other destinations across the Midwest and Great Plains.

This was grueling, demanding work, yet Black cowboys have too often been excluded from the popular mythology of the American West. Learning these stories is a powerful reminder that Black history is American history—and there is still so much more to uncover! 🤠✊🏾

What a meaningful day at Freedom School! ✊🏾📚

I enjoyed learning from Anwar Abdur-Rahman’s powerful remarks on landmark cases and the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as hearing from the Honorable Gwendolyn Bright and the Honorable Nina Wright-Padilla.

It was also a pleasure to share my presentation on the History of Black Lawyers in Philadelphia and reflect on the contributions, struggles, and enduring legacy of Black attorneys in shaping our legal system.

A special shoutout to my friend John, who traveled all the way from Chicago to support me and watch me do my thing! 🥹❤️ Having that kind of support means so much.

Thank you to Michelle Flamer for organizing this important event, and to Mother Bethel AME Church and Association for the Study of African American Life and History for sponsoring it. Events like these remind us why preserving our history and educating future generations matter so much.

I enjoyed presenting my lecture on the History of Black Lawyers in Philadelphia for Freedom school this Saturday. I relish the opportunity to share the history of legal pioneers who paved the way for me and many others, their commitment to overcoming obstacles, elegantly, mentoring and training young attorneys who came after them, and their commitment to furthering civil rights is admirable. The discussion was amazing.
