Join us for Rise!—an evening celebrating Austin’s Black freedom communities. The event features an excerpt from the film Rise, followed by a panel discussion exploring the rich history of these communities, the importance of fostering unity, and stories from their descendants.
RISE is presented by Pease Park Conservancy, Art Is Cool, and SPACES. It is supported by the City of Austin Heritage Tourism Division
A note about Pease Park Conservancy's events: If you sign up, please make every effort to show up. Our events are free so all of our community members can attend. But we plan our events to be meaningful for the number of people who register to be there, so please make every effort to attend if you have registered. We understand things come up from time to time, but If you have registered we look forward to having you there! Thank you!
