Going from just a settlement to becoming the “Black Wall Street” of Houston, Freedmen’s Town stands as the “Mother Ward” of the city in the Fourth Ward community. The historic hometown ensures that the stories and heritage of our ancestors are never dismissed.
When the emancipation of slaves finally occurred in Texas in 1865, the majority of the freed slaves traveled long and far on San Felipe Road and settled in Freedmen’s Town. Many sought the idea of a fresh start to establish themselves and prosper in a new area.

TSU Ocean of Soul Marching Band
The mighty Ocean of Soul Marching Band, known for its captivating field show performances, precise drills, high knees, and harmonious sound, holds a special place in the heart of Texas Southern University as well as the Third Ward community.
The band is a showpiece for the university, while allowing for student musicians to come together to do what they do best: perform and entertain.
The idea of forming a band at Texas Southern University derived at Houston College for Negroes during the 1945 - 1946 school year. They started out with only 35 musicians and Conrad Johnson became the band director.
