WHO IS ROSETTA GASTON

Rosetta Gaston is the founder and visionary of Brownsville Heritage House Inc. Although small in stature, she had a big vision for an educational and cultural center for young and old that would spark individual and community achievements by focusing on a common heritage. 

Mother Gaston, as she was affectionately known, realized early on that the one element missing in our community was the knowledge of our culture. She decided to do something about it. In 1969 she started the Children's Cultural Corner out of her home, where she taught young minds about their culture and history. This laid the foundation for Brownsville Heritage House.

Our community is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to have built a diverse and inclusive community of artists, performers, educators, and supporters who share our passion for promoting multi-cultural understanding and appreciation.

Over the years, Brownsville Heritage House Inc. has hosted countless cultural events, art exhibitions, and educational programs. We have also collaborated with many local organizations to support their efforts in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
