Freedmen's Town is an area in Houston where recently freed slaves settled after news of their emancipation spread across Texas. The week of Juneteenth observations brought news from the Houston City Council that the neighborhood would become the city's first "heritage district.." Allowing groups to preserve, maintain and highlight history in public rights-of-way. The designation is in addition to existing historic landmark statuses or other recognitions. Brick streets laid by descendants of Freedmen's Town founders may be the first restoration project.
