SUMMARY:Conference on Texas
DESCRIPTION:Ode to Juneteenth: Slavery in Texas\nDecember 5 & 6\, 2024\nThe Witte Museum\nA Two-Day Museum-Wide Conference\, co-presented in partnership with\n\n\n \n\n \n\nincluding\n\nSteering Committee chaired by Aaronetta Pierce will curate panel discussions featuring scholars from around the United States focused on slavery in Texas\, including Dr. Daina Ramey Berry.\nAnticipated attendance from throughout Texas and beyond.\nMore than 500 attendees expected.\n100 scholarships for college students\, high school students\, and educators.\nKeynote speaker Annette Gordon-Reed.\n\nThe 2024 Conference on Texas at the Witte Museum will reveal the foundational role of chattel slavery in the formation and growth of Texas. The conference will center on the lives of the enslaved people\, especially as mothers\, fathers\, sisters\, and brothers. Every 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. \nThrough new scholarship\, the Conference will broaden the understanding of the ongoing legacies from slavery which continue to impact African Americans in Texas. \nLearn more about this year’s conference here.

SUMMARY:Saturday with a Scientist: Inspired by Spiders
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered why people are afraid of spiders? \nJoin us at the Witte Museum to learn from Bria Marty\, biologist and spider expert. Inspired by her lifelong love of spiders\, Bria studied how people think about spiders for her graduate work at Texas State University. \nCome out for Saturday with a Scientist to meet Bria and ask all your questions about spiders. Learn about spider anatomy\, how to identify spiders using your phone and pick up your own Spider Friends Guide. Bria loves doing spider scavenger hunts\, so grab your friends and gear up for fun! \nSaturday with a Scientist: Inspired by Spiders takes place in the special exhibition\, Spiders: From Fear to Fascination. \nPurchase your Museum Admission and Spiders tickets online here or purchase a Witte Membership and enjoy events like this all year!
