Black. Migration. Houston. (BMH) is an interdisciplinary group of scholars and community organizers who study the international migration of black people to the Texas Gulf Coast. This project’s objective is to educate students, service providers, and the general public on the intersection of migration, sexuality, and blackness through its public facing website, https://blackmigrationhouston.net. As this project develops, it will expand the site in the following ways: (1) the teaching resources for educators and community members (i.e. syllabi and critical thinking material) will expand; (2) the resources content for black migrants and 1st generation people will be expanded (centering the concerns of gender non-conforming and queer persons); (3) an interactive and virtual reality component will be developed.
