Hello!
It's wonderful to have you here!
Dionne Babineaux
Founder and Executive Director
The MOUTH Project is a growing collection and resource available to others with the need to know more about Texas's multidimensional past.
We work tirelessly to build this incredible concept because we know how important having a space like the MOUTH will be.
Digging through history is a massive undertaking. The process is slow and time-consuming—searching records, reading countless books, scanning collections, visiting historical sites, and reviewing existing research.
As increasingly visual learners and very selective readers, we require direct access to useful information.
MOUTH is making Black Texas history more accessible and more engaging by tracing Texas history through countless resources for others to discover.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site.
I hope you will share my excitement and join the journey to share more Black Texas history.

LEARN OUR STORY
Our motivation to open a museum grew from our family's challenges to learn about Texas's Black history.
We wanted to share the experiences and lessons we gained to help others discover more about historic Black Texans themselves.
MOVING FROM IDEA TO IMPACT
MOUTH is excited to embark on this incredible journey to shine a light on the often-overlooked stories and histories of Black Texans, and is dedicated to making a meaningful impact for all.
We’re passionately diving into journals, newspapers, and archives to uncover these hidden records, ensuring they receive the attention they deserve. Get ready to explore and celebrate these rich stories as we bring them to life through traveling exhibitions, engaging virtual spaces, and on our website.
