The Ground on Which I Stand: Tamina, a Freedmen's Town: 22 (Sam Rayburn Series on Rural Life, sponsored by Texas A&M University-Commerce) Paperback – Import, 8 August 2019

This is a must read. It's a great read for anyone who lives in this area, is curious about their heritage or has a desire to know the true history of Tamina. Beautifully told directly through the eyes of its residents. Each has a unique voice and a unique story yo tell. So happy that I heard about this book from Rita Wilks.

This is a beautiful collection of photographs of the residents of a freedman colony called Tamina, just north of Houston near The Woodlands, Texas. It is so important to record and share the history of black communities. They should not disappear in history.

Excellent pictorial journal of the residents of this freedman’s community and their ancestors.

A great book if you are wanting to know a little more about the background of the people of Tamina.

We moved to near here recently. I googled Tamina, Tx after reading about a tragic house fire there and among the results were articles on this book. The pictures are beautiful and the history of Tamina is enlightening.
