About this audio guide
This guide to East Austin, in Austin, Texas, follows the nineteen twenty-eight city plan that redrew who could live where, east of what is now Interstate thirty-five. It traces the planners at Koch and Fowler, the Supreme Court ruling they worked around, and the city services used to make the new boundary hold. You will hear how the same year brought two new segregated parks. Look for Huston-Tillotson University and the churches that still anchor these blocks as you listen.
