Facing the Gulf: Learning Stories of Slavery in Galveston, 1816-1865 is as a digital archival exhibit and resource guide that attempts to locate the lives and stories of enslaved people in Galveston’s early history. This online repository seeks to accomplish two goals: 1) complicate overgeneralized historical narratives that ignore the nuances of Galveston’s unique realities and landscapes, and 2) to serve as a guide and roadmap for further research into this subject. Katelyn completed the project as an Edward L. Protz Historic Preservation intern at the Galveston Historical Foundation, and received additional funding from the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship. Molly Morgan served as faculty mentor on the project. image credit: Katelyn Landry
