In 1836 Texas, a shocking law made being Black synonymous with illegality. But amidst this turmoil, the Ashworth Act of 1840 emerged as a beacon of hope. This groundbreaking legislation challenged the oppressive norms, allowing free persons of color, who had arrived in Texas before its Declaration of Independence, to remain. Discover the untold story of the Ashworth Act, a pivotal moment of Redbone Texas history where justice triumphed over prejudice.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
