Witness: The Long Arc Exploring Connections Between African Americans & The Lands of Southeast Texas is the first of a 4-part series designed to bring community together through dialogue. Since Houston’s founding, African Americans have had complex relationships to the land, some uplifting and celebratory, some rooted in oppression and injustice. Witness: The Long Arc will explore the many profound experiences of African-Americans with the land of Southeast Texas through dynamic, participatory breakout sessions on walks of the Houston Botanic Garden.
