Missouri City's Freedom Tree Plaza is now open to the public, city officials announced in a March 2 Facebook video.
The plaza, which is housed in the city's historic site where enslaved people in the community were informed they were no longer enslaved after the Civil War, features the Juneteenth flag and now complies with Americans with Disabilities Act standards, Public Works Director Mustafa Albassam said.
