Texas Standard listener and historian Samuel Collins III shares information about the Nia Cultural Center Juneteenth Legacy Project Headquarters in Galveston for the Standard’s Texas Museum Map series:
The Nia Cultural Center Juneteenth Legacy Project Headquarters in Galveston is a must-see. Located at 2217 The Strand, Suite 101, the museum and art gallery has been a welcomed new addition to Galveston’s Downtown Cultural District.
They have beautiful art; they have performances there – poets, bands, singers, spoken word artists – in addition to the other artists that have wood carvings, paintings. It’s just a really great cultural center.
The executive director, Ms. Sue Johnson, and the memory keepers that work at the location, volunteers, do a great job of sharing not only Galveston, Texas, history, American history but world history at this location.
