Rebirth in Action: Support the Revival of Freedmen’s Town
Where Preservation Meets Power
Freedmen’s Town is rising — brick by brick, block by block, with artistry and purpose.
The Rebirth in Action campaign is a bold restoration movement, blending history and creativity to bring new life to sacred ground. In partnership with the City of Houston, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and world-renowned artist Theaster Gates, we are reimagining what preservation can look like — honoring the past while building a future rooted in culture, equity, and Black excellence.
With your support, we will:
🔹 Catalog and preserve 30,000+ original hand-laid bricks
🔹 Construct a landmark pavilion designed by Theaster Gates
🔹 Restore three historic row houses for community use
🔹 Complete the full preservation design for .7 miles of historic brick streets
🔹 Activate the community with artist-led storytelling and cultural programming
This is more than infrastructure — it’s a movement.
Rebirth in Action is a powerful model of cultural memory, civic restoration, and creative justice. And it’s only possible with your support.
Help us complete this transformational work — and honor the people who built Freedmen’s Town with their hands, hopes, and heritage.
