The Slave Dwelling Project is returning to North T

The Slave Dwelling Project is returning to North Texas this weekend, bringing forward the stories of the enslaved African Americans at Millermore & the Gano Farmstead, located at @dallasheritagevillage! Swipe for a schedule of events.

Based in South Carolina, The Slave Dwelling Project’s mission is to identify and assist property owners, government agencies and organizations to preserve extant slave dwellings. This is done primarily through public programming, including sleeping overnight in these buildings.

The Slave Dwelling Project and continuing the project’s mission is made possible by the collaborative efforts of Dallas Truth, Racial Healing, & Transformation, Dallas County Justice Initiative, Remembering Black Dallas, Soul Rep Theatre, and the Irving Archives and Museum.
