520    One of the last remaining freedmen's towns in the United 
       States . . . In 1871, newly freed slaves established the 
       community of Tamina--then called "Tammany"--north of 
       Houston, near the rich timberlands of Montgomery County. 
       Located in proximity to the just-completed Houston and 
       Great Northern Railroad line, the community benefited from
       the burgeoning local lumber industry and available 
       transportation. The residents built homes, churches, a one
       -room school, and a general store. Over time, urban growth
       and change has overtaken Tamina. The sprawling communities
       of The Woodlands, Shenandoah, Chateau Woods, and Oak Ridge
       have encroached, introducing opportunities and challenges.
       On the one hand, the children of Tamina have the 
       opportunity to attend some of the best public schools in 
       the nation; on the other hand, residents whose education 
       and job skills have not kept pace with modern society are 
       struggling for survival and are at risk of gentrification 
       due to the value of their land. Through striking and 
       intimate photography and sensitively gleaned oral 
       histories, Marti Corn has chronicled the lives, dreams, 
       and spirit of the people of Tamina. Twelve descendent 
       families representing different aspects of the community--
       young and old, black cowboys, ministers, first and sixth 
       generation residents--share stories of poverty and 
       prejudice, their love of this community and place, and 
       dreams for their future. The result is a multi-faceted 
       portrait of a community's undying pride, endurance, 
       kinship, faith, and humor.
