 They asked me to do a historical marker, so if you go visit that graveyard, you'll see this great, big, gigantic piece of stone, and on the top of it is like a metal plate, and it explains the history of that graveyard. You'll see my name on there at the bottom, because I'm the one that wrote that. So if you go in from the Montana Street side, you'll see that big, you know, it looks like a podium where somebody will come in. That's what it looks like, a podium. You can just read it, and I'll tell you some more, or give you some more information about that particular graveyard. One of the people that I find the most interesting that's buried there was a guy named Lafayette Walker. During the era of San Antonio's segregated era, these grounds became designated as the burial place for persons of African descent. Many important historical figures are interned at this location, including Lafayette Walker. So now you know who Lafayette Walker is, he's buried here. A leader during Reconstruction that opposed the Negro agent. That's what Newcombe was called at the time, the Negro agent, in seeking rights for African-Americans. Names and accomplishments, Ella Austin established a home for Black orphans. Y'all saw her picture at the restaurant. Bishop Abram Grant, it's a grave right over there behind you. We'll go walk over there. Lobby for segregated schools. He's an African-American Episcopal Bishop, but he was an adherent to the Booker T. Washington School of Thought. And matter of fact, he was very close friends with Booker T. Washington, and he's buried over there. And of course, their philosophy was Blacks ought to not learn academics. Blacks ought to learn how to sew and cook and that kind of stuff. So that was the bad part about segregation. Also, Harold Tarver, the second vice president of the NAACP and principal of the Dunbar School, which is an all-Black elementary school, is also buried here and was an opponent of Bishop Grant. Lynn, you, Sand, if you look in your packet, you see that beautiful lady with the big afro, she's buried here. And she was from San Antonio, her whole family's plot is over there. But she was the University of Houston's first Black homecoming queen. She was killed in Houston murdered, and she was a very radical person that fought for African-American rights and was killed. She had the most beautiful afro you ever want to see. And I did give you all a picture of her, so you have a picture of Lynn, you saying. She's buried over here, first Black homecoming queen University of Houston. And then leaders of the 1904 streetcar boycott, Jesse Bumbry, O.J. Carter and William L. Haguewood, editor of the San Antonio Enquirer, indicted by the FBI. In those days, it was the Bureau of Investigation. They had been indicted him for allowing articles to be published, criticizing the treatment of Black soldiers that rebelled against white supremacy in the Houston riot, and were subsequently hanged at Fort Sam Houston. Those of you from San Antonio probably need to make note of this. This is the man, this be the man. He fought in either the 9th or 10th Black Calvary in Tennessee, comes to San Antonio, he makes a deal with Newcombe, you already saw Newcombe's grave. This grave site, only Blacks were buried here because Blacks couldn't be buried in the white grave, y'all. But look at the difference in the material of the stone. There's just simple, cheap concrete. Whereas you've got the white cemetery is very high-gloss granite, or in some cases, high-gloss marble. But being African-American, oftentimes they couldn't afford that, especially during this time frame. And so this is the best that they could do. And this is Lafayette Walker's grave here. He was the leader. He's the one who organized all of the east side. From 1867 until the time he died in 1902. This is the grave of Ella Austin, the lady I showed you that started the first Black orphanage picture, a very famous person in San Antonio. And now it's an Ella Austin Community Center on Pine Street. It's still there. And she did a fantastic job with taking young Black children who had no mother, no father, and bringing them to an orphanage and helping them make it in life. So she was the first Black orphanage in the city of San Antonio back in 1897. She organized it, and it stayed in existence all the way up until the 1960s. So that's how long it was there. Now, she died, of course, and look how old, how long ago that was. And but her legacy lived on with that orphanage continuing in operation years after she had passed on. That's Lynn Houston, right there, right there. Right, was it paper there at the University? She wrote for the Houston Post, for the Black newspaper of Houston. Or it might have been, I'm sorry, forward times. She wrote for the Houston Forward Times, which was the Black newspaper of Houston. And very active in organizing the community, very active in organizing the Black community of Houston, and fighting for civil and human rights. And it was really a wonderful job. She was one of the people involved in the movement for change. And of course, her life was snuffed out very early.
