In Central Texas, among acres of endangered Blackland Prairie and the confluence of three small creeks, lies the remnants of a 3x3 town grid, a historic church and cemetery, and rich soil that has been tilled and toiled with fortitude for generations. This land is one of the oldest African American Freedom Colonies in Texas, founded by Jackson Morrow, a former slave and the first black postmaster in Texas. In 1883, Morrow donated the land to start the railroad town of Littig, creating a refuge community of former slaves and future civil rights activists.
