Soon after arriving in Texas, Feresten became aware of the rich culture of the distinct African-American community, which had developed as a separate city within the borders of Fort Worth. He is well recognized there for having contributed to the broader society's understanding of that culture. On September 16, 2007, Feresten passed away.
