Connecting the Histories

For centuries, African Americans traveled across what would become the boundaries of the state of Texas.

Through research, our work illuminates forgotten details about the lives of these earlier Texans.

Building the Resources

Through online resources, collections, and directories, our platform helps others to learn more about and find ways to uncover more of Texas's past.

Engaging the Community

We partner with historians and organizations to create exhibitions and programming that is meaningful and accessible to local communities.

We are doing the work

MOUTH builds archives, conducts research, and creates online and in-person exhibitions to showcase the histories and stories of early African American Texans. 


You can further our efforts by sharing our mission and supporting the cause with your talents, your support, or a donation!

Our research and programs have been sponsored by:
