Join us for a powerful evening that honors both the 100-year legacy of the City of Lewisville and the enduring contributions of Black families who helped shape its foundation. Sacred Ground: The Legacy Beneath Lewisville shines a light on the untold stories of the Fox-Hembry and Champion families—trailblazers whose lives were deeply rooted in the land and spirit of Lewisville.
Through an evocative short film, archival photo gallery, and moving panel discussion, this celebration will uncover the histories buried beneath the surface—stories of land, love, loss, resilience, and generational hope. Learn how the dreams of these families continue to echo across time, enriching the present and inspiring the future.
