I know nothing of black history in Texas.
Was it a worthy monument?

Texas wouldn’t exist as part of the United States if it weren’t for blacks. Or rather, for the desire by white American settlers to own them as slaves. Mexico’s abolition of slavery was a central - and I would argue the central - reason for the Texas War of Independence.

Yeah, it is. They even have a state holiday (June 19) when the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
