SUMMARY:Rock Art Tours: White Shaman Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Journey deep into the rugged Lower Pecos Canyonlands to experience the White Shaman mural\, considered one of the most cosmologically complex narratives in the world\, at the Witte Museum’s White Shaman Preserve.  \nLocated near Seminole Canyon State Park\, this 1.5-hour trek takes you through a landscape filled with Chihuahuan Desert plants and stunning views of the Pecos River where it converges with the Rio Grande. The White Shaman mural\, painted thousands of years ago\, illustrates the lifeway and belief systems of the now-gone hunter-gatherer society. \nMore about the White Shaman Preserve and the Witte. \nPricing: \n\nMembers: $15\nNon-Members: $25\n\nTour Difficulty: (Strenuous) There is a 250-foot descent into a narrow brushy canyon and the trail is steep with loose rocks and uneven footing.

SUMMARY:Conference on Texas - Ode to Juneteenth: Slavery in Texas
DESCRIPTION:DECEMBER 5 – 6\, 2024  |  Slavery was foundational to the formation and growth of Texas. Ode to Juneteenth: Slavery in Texas will broaden our understanding of the ongoing legacies of slavery in Texas. \nThe 2024 Conference on Texas at the Witte Museum will reveal the foundational role of chattel slavery in the formation and growth of Texas. This 2-day museum-wide conference is led by a Steering Committee chaired by Aaronetta Pierce\, who will curate panel discussions featuring scholars from around the United States focusing on slavery in Texas\, including Dr. Daina Ramey Berry and with a keynote address from Annette Gordon-Reed\, MacArthur Genius and the first Black person to win the Pulitzer Prize in History. Through new scholarship\, the conference will broaden our understanding of the ongoing legacies of slavery\, which continue to impact African Americans in Texas. \nThe conference will center on the lives of the enslaved people\, especially as mothers\, fathers\, sisters\, and brothers. \nEvery facet of the expanding Texas economy was impacted by slavery and enslaved labor. Enslaved people not only labored on cotton and sugar plantations\, they also worked as artisans such as blacksmiths\, seamstresses\, and as enslaved cowboys. \nIn 1834\, there were approximately 5\,000 enslaved people in Mexican Texas. During the Republic of Texas\, slavery increased so that by 1845\, there were at least 30\,000 enslaved women\, men and children in the new state of Texas. When Texas voted to join the Confederacy in 1861\, the enslaved population was 182\,566 people\, the fastest growing demographic in Texas. The economy of Texas was so dependent upon slavery that not until June 19\, 1865\, now celebrated as Juneteenth\, were enslaved people freed from bondage in Texas\, two years after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. \nTicket sales available in August.  \nConference ProgramTwo-day museum-wideconference including: \n\nPanel discussions from scholars around the United States focused on Slavery in Texas\nAnticipated attendance from throughout Texas and beyond\n500+ attendees expected\n100 scholarships for college students\nKeynote speaker Annette Gordon Reed\n\nKeynote Speaker \nAnnette Gordon-Reed is an American historian and law professor. She is currently the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University and a professor of history in the university’s Faculty of Arts & Sciences. Gordon-Reed won sixteen book prizes\, including the Pulitzer Prize in History in 2009 and the National Book Award in 2008\, for The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family. Her most recent book\, On Juneteenth\, provides a historian’s view of the country’s long road to Juneteenth\, recounting both its origins in Texas and the enormous hardships that African-Americans have endured in the century since\, from Reconstruction through Jim Crow and beyond.

SUMMARY:15th Annual La Tamalada
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT — Tamale season is around the corner!  \nJoin your Witte family for the 15th annual La Tamalada as we learn a little tamale history\, which dates back thousands of years. Spend your morning getting your hands in masa and making tamales\, followed by a box lunch. \nWhile tamales cook\, enjoy demonstrations on how to make salsa and chili with the Witte’s Chef Overton Lesley of the Tremblay Family Café. Communal learning of how to make tamales has been key to keeping this skill alive\, so join us as we continue to pass along this tradition. Each participant will make and take home a dozen tamales and the skills to host their own Tamalada.
