MUSEUM OF UNDERTOLD TEXAS HISTORY

Welcome

MOUTH collects and shares the stories of Black Americans throughout Texas history.
Blacks manned the earliest explorations to the first settlements and have influenced every Texas history era thereafter.
MOUTH stories tell the immense contributions Black Americans have made to the development of Texas.

We tell stories for inspiration. for awareness. for identity. for humility. for you.
