The historic groundbreaking ceremony for the African-American Memorial is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 24. The event will be held at Bates Allen Park in Kendleton, Texas, 77435 at Noon.
Commissioner Dexter L. McCoy, representing Precinct 4 in Fort Bend County, announced that this groundbreaking ceremony will mark the beginning of construction for the region’s first African-American Memorial of this scale. The event holds significance as it falls on the day after Slavery Remembrance Day, honoring the journey of African Americans in Fort Bend County.
Commissioner Dexter L. McCoy: “As we come together to break ground on this historic project, we pay tribute to the trailblazers who paved the way for us.”
Commissioner McCoy expressed, “As we come together to break ground on this historic project, we pay tribute to the trailblazers who paved the way for us. I extend an invitation to all to join us on this meaningful journey to celebrate the legacies of those often overlooked in history.”
The ceremony is expected to be attended by elected officials, community leaders, and members of the public. Special performances by National Gospel Recording Artist Kathy Taylor, Saxophonist Anthony Rejiv, and the winner of Expose Excellence’s spoken word competition on dignity are also scheduled.
Kendleton, known for its resilient founders – six freed families who established the community by purchasing land from a plantation owner, serves as a fitting location for the African-American Memorial. The memorial will stand as a symbol of perseverance and progress, attracting visitors for generations to come.
Supported by funds from parks bonds, the African-American Memorial has received bipartisan support, showcasing a shared belief in the importance of remembrance, healing, and reconciliation.
Fort Bend County, with a population exceeding 900,000, stands out as one of the fastest-growing and most ethnically diverse counties in the United States. Commissioner McCoy assumed office in 2023 to represent the nearly 250,000 residents of Fort Bend Precinct 4.
