Representing experts across various fields, University of
Houston sources have expertise in an array of topics related to
storms – before, during and after. UH Anthropologist Ken Brown
Uncovers West African Customs at Texas Plantation Just outside
of Houston, the former site of the Levi Jordan Plantation holds
many clues to the lives and customs of 19th- century African
Americans. University of Houston anthropologist Ken Brown has
spent much time studying this location and learning about the
people who lived and worked there. On Feb. 27, the public can
accompany Brown on a journey to the site and experience "A
Bittersweet Texas Tale." This event, sponsored by the Houston
Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, will feature
a tour of the plantation led by Brown. A bus will depart from
St. James Church (3129 Southmore) at 9 a.m. and proceed to the
Jordan Plantation - south of Sweeny, Texas, on Highway 521. The
tour is open to the public, and admission is $25. To register
