E4 Youth

We had an amazing launch event for our Roots & Realities: Presenting Black Legacies in the Modern World featuring the pioneering residents of the Austin historic neighborhood of Rogers Washington Holy Cross. From the panel discussion to the VR demos to the bus tours provided by Black Austin Tours, we had an absolute blast.
