The theme of the 2024 #Black Houston(s) Symposium is Place and Memory. We are grateful to this amazing panel that talked to us about | Reclaiming, Remembering, and Restoring: Black Cemetery Preservation in Greater Houston. #blackhouston #houston

Olivewood needs your help. Unfortunately the devastating storm that swept through Houston on May 16, 2024 left an incredible amount of damage across the cemetery. At least 40 trees will need professional removal, 56' of fencing is down, and at least 7 headstones need repair.

50+ large branches will need chainsaws before removal are also strewn across Olivewood. The damage to the northernmost section of the cemetery is so severe that it is currently inaccessible.

If you want to volunteer, please DM or contact us via our website.

On May 16, 2024 unusually strong winds struck Houston, damaging buildings and landscapes across the region including Olivewood Cemetery @descendantsofolivewood. The cemetery was included on the 2022 list of America's #11Most Endangered Historic Places. ow.ly/yYwR50RSYiJ

We outside!!! Come celebrate Juneteenth with those that lived it. 10 am-3 pm at historic Olivewood Cemetery

Once again, brands are using Kwanzaa decor to commercialize Juneteenth and as a Texan, I just..

Opal Lee, the 97-year-old Texan known for her push to make Juneteenth a national holiday, was given the keys Friday to her new home, which was built on the same tree-lined corner lot in Fort Worth that her family was driven from by a racist mob when she was 12.

Houston has lost a powerful voice today. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and all of us that admired her.

When Cheniere Energy Inc. volunteers, they are all in. Thank you for your continued efforts helping us preserve historic Olivewood Cemetery.

Beryl dealt a huge blow to our progress preserving Olivewood Cemetery, but our community will always come through for us. abc13.com/post/hurricane…
