W. TERRELL The ground on which the City of Austin is built was selected as the proper place for the Capital of the Republic of Texas in 1839, six years before annexation to the United States. How it happened that the seat of government was thus lo- cated, what public houses were then built for the Republic, when and how they were erected, and other matters of public inter- est connected with the early history of Austin should be made known to this generation before a knowledge of them fades into vague tradition.

Keywords: racialized space, gendered space, race, gender, geography, narrative, Austin Even though I knew there were… “di# erences” such as there were certain things we could not do, it was kind of like there were certain things you knew you could not and you just did not do it. Like you did not go to the water fountain that was for Whites and drink water there. If there was a store that you could not go into you did not go. Now what would hap- pen with reference to the shopping, African Americans could go into the stores, but you could not try on things. You could not try on a dress, shoes. Of course that eventually got be% er. (Overton 2009, April 6) Introduction1 In 2004 I began a project recording life history interviews with people who identify as Afri- can American, “in an e# ort to come to a deeper appreciation of the important events, values, and intellectual perspectives in the lives of African Americans, and to examine the impor- tance of race and racial identity in America”.2 Over the last twelve years my graduate stu- dents and I co-created life history interviews with 180 people in Texas and Tennessee, with birthdates ranging from 1920 to 1996.

    BIO I began my artistic journey as a painter and illustrator and eventually found myself transitioning to a career as a graphic artist. I’ve been fortunate to operate my own freelance design business for over 25 years in the Austin area. In the last decade, I’ve been able to transition back to pursuits in fine art. While my aesthetic tendencies have not shifted significantly over the years, my medium of choice has changed quite a bit. I was able to tap into my unique skillset as a longtime graphics Leslie lives in the professional to create an original technique that synthesizes Austin area with her the artistry of both design and photography. In late 2008, husband of over 30 I created my very first digital composition using my own years, her loyal dog photos and Adobe Creative Suite. I quickly realized that the Frida and two cats. possibilities were endless and ten years later I am still chasing that elusive vision of the perfect image. Today I call myself a digital artist. Of course, this means eating the words of my 20-year-old self: “I will never create art on a computer”. Let’s face it, the world has changed; the rules have changed and I can live with that. Leslie is honored to have been included in the 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2019 People’s Gallery at Austin City Hall. She has participated in dozens of exhibits over the last couple of years, including several shows featuring digital art. She was awarded first place in the 2019 Re-Imagine Juried Exhibit in photography and won an honorable mention in the Round Rock Arts BIG Show in 2018.
