This federal holiday is a significant part of our history as it recognizes the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to ensure that all enslaved people were freed. As the only African American historical and genealogical society with a museum in the state, it is our responsibility to keep this history alive.

Who keeps us safe? We keep us safe! Join us at our new marshal training this Thursday to learn how YOU can help protect protesters, de-escalate situations, and make sure events are safe for all!
