In 1871, newly freed slaves established the community of Tamina north of Houston, near the rich timber lands of Montgomery County. Over time, urban growth and change has overtaken Tamina. Through striking and intimate photography and sensitively gleaned oral histories, Marti Corn has chronicled the lives, dreams, and spirit of the people of Tamina.
