So important for #AfricanAmerican communities to reclaim and preserve the sites where our ancestors are laid. 🙏🏾

'They've lost the ability to learn about their ancestors because all this knowledge about them has literally been paved over' — Formerly enslaved people are buried under this strip mall, and this family is seeking justice

The seeds eventually grew in popularity in home cooking after the Civil War and became a staple in traditional, southern holiday meals. Contrary to its name, purple hull peas are not peas, but more akin to beans. (Excerpt from https://t.co/jyp00Y07mx)

#blackhistorymonth Did you know? Purple Hull peas originated in Africa, and botanists believe they came to the United States during the slave trade in the 18th and 19th centuries

[TXPurpleHullPeaFest @TXPHPFest]

Used primarily in the southern United States, the pods and seeds were initially eaten by those enslaved and were used as a forage crop for livestock, earning them the name “cowpeas.”

We were so excited to see @shankleville discussed on #FindingYourRoots & honored that local family historians could assist w/ information. The Strahan family has a long legacy in this #TexasFreedomColony.

[TXPurpleHullPeaFest @TXPHPFest]

@MooreTerren Hope you decide to plant some peas and bring them to the festival in June!

[TXPurpleHullPeaFest @TXPHPFest]

@FreeBlackTX Actually, I don't think they do. DISD Art Deco headquarters, Dr. Pepper headquarters, homes in now named "Smith-Thomas" area, homes in Munger area -- the list goes on and on.
