Congratulations to Weston Johnston and Emma Dacumos for being this year's winners of the Brazos Valley African American Museum award for the best history fair projects related to African American history! Their original research, featured at the recent Brazos Valley Regional History Fair, earned high praise during the competition and we look forward to seeing more of their work in the future.

We’re honored to introduce our community to one of Bryan’s own: George “Conscious” Lee Jr.

Born and raised right here in Bryan, George’s journey has taken him from the West Side of our city to a global platform reaching more than five million people. He is a nationally recognized educator, thought leader, author, and digital influencer whose work sits at the intersection of history, justice, education, and culture.

George earned multiple degrees from the University of Oklahoma while becoming one of the top college debaters in the country. He later served as a professor, high school English teacher, and Director of Debate at the University of Oklahoma, leading his team to a national championship in 2019. Today, his voice is featured in major national publications and trusted by audiences seeking thoughtful, honest perspectives on the world around them.

Through it all, George has remained grounded in his roots. His message is simple and powerful: education is elevation, and purpose matters.

On Friday, February 6, 2026, the Brazos Valley African American Museum will host a special Fireside Chat with Conscious George Lee as part of our First Friday programming. This intimate conversation will explore his life, his work, and what it means to use your voice with intention in today’s world.

🕔 Museum Hours: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
🕠 Fireside Chat Begins: 5:30 PM
📍 500 E. Pruitt Street, Bryan, TX
Moderated by Museum Administrator Ethan Brisby

Whether you are a student, parent, educator, mentor, or lifelong learner, this evening is for you.

Come meet him. Come hear his story. Come be inspired.

Let’s continue building together as a community.
