Speaker Series Event: Voices of Camptown

 Tuesday, July 29th, 2025 :: 5:30pm - 6:30pm
 Brenham Heritage Museum

Join us on Tuesday, July 29th from 5:30 to 6:30 PM at the Julie & Larry Tegeler Bus Depot Gallery (313 E Alamo St) for an insightful evening of storytelling and history.

Authors Charles Swenson, Tina B. Henderson, Ph.D., and Robert R. Bubb, Ph.D. will discuss their newly released book, Voices of Camptown: Untold Stories from a Freedom Colony Cemetery. Discover the remarkable lives and legacies of African Americans in post-Emancipation Washington County, Texas, as brought to life through this compelling work.

This meticulously researched and deeply human narrative begins where most histories end: in the overgrown, nearly forgotten Camptown Cemetery. Here, the authors uncover the lives of those who transformed adversity into opportunity, building churches, schools, businesses, and a vibrant civic life in the shadow of Reconstruction and Jim Crow. Through painstaking archival work, oral histories, and community collaboration, the book resurrects the voices of individuals like Wiley Hubert, a master carpenter and community builder; Sam Love, a pioneering educator; and Mary Marks, whose personal journey echoes the broader struggle for dignity and recognition.

Admission is $5 for non-members and museum members get in for free. RSVP to: admin@brenhamheritagemuseum.org
Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event.
