To Believe
The Fall 2019 exhibition "To Believe" explores Black East Austin's historic and contemporary practices of faith and belief. Our inspiration is Reverend Jacob Fontaine, a man freed from slavery at age 57 who founded six Baptist churches, the St. John Association, married 111 couples, and created Austin’s first Black newspaper “The Gold Dollar.” For the full exhibit, visit https://austin.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=ec5d3032f7ac4096a92d477eb6a03adf
