From their website, “Bear Witness Part #3: (Re)Connecting to Our Ancestors “Bear Witness” is held each year during the week of Ann Taylor’s birthday. Ann Taylor was born March 20, 1845. This year marks the 180th anniversary of her birth. This participatory public art experience is designed to introduce the public to Ann Taylor’s life and journey. An artist-led Ancestor Altar will be created by visitors to Ann Taylor’s gravesite. Visitors will leave messages of love and goodwill in remembrance to their ancestors. Bird walks and walking meditations will be offered, as visitors explore the forested 26-acre park. A pop-up floral installation will invite attendees to enjoy the beauty of nature and boost their well-being. The Houston Public Library’s (HLP) Gregory School will be onsite to collect the oral histories documenting the lives of African American women and their impact on their descendants that will go into the City of Houston’s official archives.
The Houston Audubon will provide binoculars and nature interpretation along the trail if that is an opportunity.
Thank you to our partners at Gregory School and Houston Parks Department.
