Sugar Land

When the remains of 95 convict laborers were unearthed in Sugar Land, Texas, the racist roots of the state’s criminal justice system were laid bare.

The Texas Historical Commission (@TxHistComm) must act now to put a stop to this unethical and dangerous research on the Sugar Land 95 https://t.co/OZ4f7QL4Ly

In Sunday’s @HoustonChron, an opinion piece by Sugar Land’s Brittney Martin. Principal Research Group has proposed genetic research that could cause actual and immediate harm to Black people by potentially putting their DNA in the hands of law enforcement https://t.co/OZ4f7QL4Ly

A two-year investigation by @AP investigative reporters @MargieMasonAP and @robinmcdowell links products made by U.S. prison labor to some of the largest companies in the world. https://t.co/Kxf9pPjXPp

I echo Rachel's recommendation. Cohosts @BeeDotMartin & @bethrwrites do an excellent job unraveling the story behind 95 graves discovered on a construction site in 2018. The investigative podcast @SugarLandPod explores an important part of Texas history many don't know about.

[Nick Moyle @NRMoyle]

Highly recommend checking out @SugarLandPod. My talented friend @BeeDotMartin and Naomi Reed did an incredible job on this.

Tonight at 6: Fort Bend County Historical Commission is holding a meeting in response to the report we authored about the misnaming of the Sugar Land 95 Cemetery

[Sugar Land @SugarLandPod]

We were not invited to present at tonight’s meeting, but we will be there to offer public testimony and answer any questions. We’re disappointed the meeting isn’t being made virtually accessible as most descendants of the Sugar Land 95 live outside of Fort Bend
