This poster celebrates the history, heritage, and legacy of Freedmen’s Town in Houston while raising awareness about the importance of preserving the community and resisting gentrification. A powerful central image shows a woman with both fists raised, capturing the emotion of freedom. Below her, four people leap into the air, arms up and faces full of joy, celebrating together. Bold typography surrounds the imagery, with the word “FREEDOM” holding the most visual weight, supported by words like “STRONG,” “PROUD,” and “UNITED” to reflect the spirit of the community.

A vibrant color palette brings a sense of celebration and energy. The geometric, minimalistic style keeps the design playful and accessible for children, the poster’s main audience, with the goal of educating the next generation about the power and pride of Freedmen’s Town.
