**THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN**

In celebration of Black History Month, we will take a guided tour of our sister institution, the Ruther B.H. Yates Museum –dedicated to the life and achievements of Rutherford B. H. Yates and the men and women who settled Freedmen’s Town. Yates was employed as a printer for Western Star Publishing, Webster Printing, and McKinney & Burke. He and his brother, Paul established the Yates Printing Company, one of Houston’s first Black-owned printing businesses. Together, they published “The Life and Efforts of Jack Yates,” a book about their father. Rutherford contributed significantly to the printing industry by training a number of Houston printers, including many of the printers who worked in the pressrooms of the Houston Post and the Houston Chronicle. We will meet at the RBH Yates museum.
