Talk:Emancipation Park (Houston)

Disambiguation
This page should probably be moved to Emancipation Park (Houston) to disambiguate from Emancipation Park (Charlottesville, Virginia), and possibly other parks of the same name. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:04, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅. I moved Emancipation Park to Emancipation Park (Houston), and changed Emancipation Park to a disambiguation page. --Neo-Jay (talk) 10:15, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with Emancipation Park in Houston
In 1938, the park was seized by the city, obtained via eminent domain, with support from the Public Works Administration and United States Housing Authority, for the site of Rosewood Courts, a federally funded public housing project for African Americans and part of Austin's city planners' scheme to further segregate the community.[11][12] Rosewood became one of the only green spaces available to Black Austinites. During this period, the park constructed a recreation center, swimming pool, and bathhouse, designed by prominent Houston architect William Ward Watkin. The buildings have been used for after-school and summer programs for children, community meetings, and classes for youth and adults.[13] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C0:4680:19B0:BD9A:F61B:3078:2508 (talk) 03:20, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
