What is Juneteenth for Barrett?

Barrett Settlement,.........home, and Black Owned, is a place to be proud of.
Harrison Barrett (1845–1917 ) was a former slave born in 1845 to slave parents from Louisiana, Simon and Eliza Barrett. He had two brothers and two sisters. After the emancipation of the slaves in 1865, Barrett searched for his family members. He was able to gather all together except for one sister.[1] In 1889 he purchased land east of the San Jacinto River in Harris County, Texas, for fifty cents an acre, and named the area Barrett Settlement. It was one of the largest holdings in Harris County to be acquired by a former slave.[2] He is interred with his wife Annie Jones Barrett, along with four other family members, in the nearby cemetery.[1]

The community began with seven houses, which Barrett built with lumber from his land. He set up farms, a sawmill, a gristmill, and a coffee mill. He also gave land for Shiloh Baptist Church.[2] The town eventually was given a postal station, and became known as Barrett Station.[1]

The population of the town was 2,872 according to the 2000 census. It went to 3,199 in 2010. It remains a largely African-American neighborhood and celebrates its heritage every Juneteenth.[2]

The East Harris Chambers NAACP efforts would not have been realized if it had not been for Rayehasen Wilson.

This young Millenial Leader was a dynamic breath of fresh air. The impact she made on this community before her Sunset was tangible and real, and now she has her own day.
