21st Century Freedom Colonies featuring Acres Homes

The 21st Century Freedom Colonies Exhibit featuring Acres Homes is a visual editorial documentary designed to create awareness, inform, educate, and stimulate learning through positive imaging and storytelling using photography and cinematography. Although Acres Homes was established in 1910, very few people are aware of the community's contributions to society and that it is a freedom colony.
The exhibit comprises a series of images and a feature film illuminating the historical significance and preservation of the Acres Homes community cultural heritage sites, people, places, and things by documenting and publishing a series of interviews, black and white, full color photographs, simple captions, and short feature films.
The project is funded in part by the City of Houston and HAA Houston Art Alliance.
