Welcome to Black. Migration. Houston.
A resource & research collaboration based in Houston, Texas.
Our aim is to serve as an online access point for black LGBTQIA+ migrants in need of services and information as well as provide tools for educators, community members, and others wanting to learn to teach about the experiences of black LGBTQIA+ migrants in the U.S. South today.
Our vision for this website is that it supports the work of many different community partners and links them to others doing essential work at the intersection of anti-blackness, migration, and sexuality.
Black. Migration. Houston.
an on-going, collaborative project.
