This StoryMap was created by Rice University undergraduate student Phoenix Orta with the collaboration and advice of Molly Morgan, Fares El-Dahdah, Angela Pfeiffer, and Uilvim Franco. This project designing a story map of Varner-Hogg Plantation aims to present the many layers of history at Varner-Hogg Plantation into an accessible and engaging digital format. Particularly, this project was created with the goal of educating about the history of slavery and African-American heritage on this plantation by integrating various forms of data into a cohesive narrative about these individuals and their lives. Many of the images presented in this StoryMap will also be included in Dr. El-Dadah’s larger StoryMap project called Black Life in Houston: An Atlas of Racial Inequality, Displacement, and Integration. To explore all of the georeferenced photographs and sketches collected for this project, visit our Varner-Hogg Plantation Image Gallery . To explore even more imagery collected for this project, including the maps, plans, and aerials, visit the public collection of images hosted in JSTOR.
