Remembering-The-Times

The Ellis County African American Hall of Fame Museum & Library Annua Induction was held in Waxahachie, Texas,  October 23, 2021. The Hall of Fame recognizes all contribution made by

African Americans in Ellis County and it is an amazing list. `The mission is to expose the world,  all students, teachers and citizens of Ellis County to new ideas as they explore  their history.

The Museum also operates and maintains the records for the historic Prince Hall Fraternal Cemetery in Waxahachie  and maintains the Monument in Freedman’s Park across from the museum dedicated to eighteen(18)African Americans and a Caucasian killed in the most tragic accident in Ellis County.

President Jamal Rashseed thanks all for sharing in this historic occasion.  Historic lives!  In a continued effort to fulfill our mission we have built an African American Veterans Monument and Juneteenth Monument dedicated to former slaves and former military veterans in the cemetery.

You are invited to visit.

Very special thanks to First United Methodist Church, Rev. Kevin Tully
