What Once Was (WOW) Heritage Center
E4 Youth is partnering with the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) to open our first brick-and-mortar space by the end of 2025 - the What Once Was (WOW) Heritage Center, in the heart of East Austin. Located at Rosewood Courts, the site of the first public housing for African Americans in the U.S., the WOW Center will provide ongoing tours, workshops, curriculum for schools, a production studio to capture oral histories and performances, and space for community events.
In preparation for this opening, we are collecting oral histories about Rosewood Courts and the surrounding area.
Fill out the form below and we'll follow up with you soon.
