Welcome to a resource for exploring the Black experience in Fort Worth. Our history is a quilt with cowboys and cowgirls, the first African American millionaire in Texas, William “Gooseneck” McDonald, and jazz legends such as Ornette Coleman.

Today, Fort Worth is home to a new generation shaping community around creativity: filmmaker Channing Godfrey Peoples, artist Sedrick Huckaby, Grammy Award winner Leon Bridges and many more. Learn more here and start planning your weekend, convention or family reunion.
