Overview
On Black History Bike Ride’s 6th annual Juneteenth Ride, led by Talib Abdullahi, hundreds of cyclists bike together to learn under-told stories of Black history. From the State Capitol to Austin’s only HBCU to iconic venues like Victory Grill, this journey through history explores the transition from plantation sites to freedom communities, highlights the impact of the 1928 City Plan’s “Negro District” in east Austin, and celebrates the contributions of leaders of the Black community like Jacob Fontaine and Barbara Jordan. Through interviews with local Austinites and thought-leaders like Peniel Joseph and Tara Dudley, an inspirational story of resilience and Black excellence unfolds.
