In 2019, as Austin experienced rapid growth and development, the historically Black community of East Austin was confronting decades of displacement and racial discrimination. When two iconic African American murals were painted over within days of each other, their disappearance became a flashpoint in a larger fight over who would shape the neighborhood’s future.

Displaced, Not Erased, an Austin American-Statesman investigation, examined Eureka Holdings, a company that had quietly acquired more than 114 parcels along and around the East 12th Street corridor and painted over the Mama Sana mural. In its first on-camera interview, the company addressed its plans for its extensive holdings in this historically Black community.
