New podcast reveals a dark side of Texas’ history. SugarLandPod
Brittney Martin and Naomi Reed stand in front of Bullhead Convict Labor Camp Cemetery, the discovery and burial site of the Sugar Land 95
“It’s hard to talk about, like, ‘We found all these bodies on a construction site,’ and not immediately go there,” Martin says. That context caught the eye of Reed, an anthropology professor at Southwestern University. Having grown up in the neighboring town of Missouri City, Reed was familiar with the town’s affluent reputation and had conducted extensive field work on racial education in Sugar Land’s high schools. In 2021, she wrote an article in Anthropology News about the city’s failure to honor the Sugar Land 95, as they’ve come to be known.
When Martin submitted a public information request to view the district's emails and documents, she was told that it would cost her $46,830 to process the information. Martin narrowed her search to specific words, hoping for a smaller price tag, and FBISD gave her a new estimate of over $15 million to process the search.
