The Soul of Port Arthur

Black History Month calls for celebration of Port Arthur’s diverse heritage. Our “City by the Sea” reflects pride in community, music, food and faith.

Pride that Matters

Port Arthur’s West Side story, Juneteenth, murals, trill vibes and more are featured on Soul of Port Arthur, the African-American tour of Port Arthur. Play at Barbara Jacket Park, honor a veteran and humanitarian, learn about Kwanzaa and worship at historical churches. Be sure to tune into Stephen A. Mosely on The Breeze Radio, KSAP – 96.9 FM/LP.

Let’s go!

Museum of the Gulf Coast is a motivational first stop. Learn about the over-the-shoulder washboard, designed here in Port Arthur. Hear some musical greats from Zydeco’s Clifton Chenier to blues diva Barbara Lynn and rapper Bun B. Displays tell stories of nationally-known athletes and performers.
