Embracing the Spirit of the Eastside

Discover the essence of our roots, the heart of our community, and the stories that define us. Let's celebrate the uniqueness of our journey, the memories we've created, and the traditions we hold dear. This is where our narrative comes alive, where every experience is a chapter in our vibrant tale.

In 1928 there was a masterplan that mandated that all black and brown residents of Austin move to the Eastside of town or our services would be shut off (water and power). We complied and made the Eastside our home for generations to come, we opened up businesses, we raised our families and we created a vibrant culture that will always be felt and never forgotten. Now that Austin has grown a lot of us have been priced out of our homes and the majority of us have had to relocate to North Austin and other neighboring towns. Black Austinite is a reminder that we are still here, still thriving and we have not forgotten where we come from!
