Wonder if ir ws arson
Wheres a good place to learn and read stories about vinegar hill?
He said the mayor was voted by everybody what he actually mean is the mayor was voted by all white people not the black people basically saying black people didn't matter then and black people don't matter now That's why he used the word EVERYBODY.
Wish the mic audio was recorded into the video instead of using the camera mic.
My aunt now lives there
they was definitely divided on race
My Uncle Guy Willson built this, the year was around 1957, 1959
I'm from Alabama. I moved to Houston in 2016. I know more about Houston history than Alabama. Wonderful city!
The Fire of 1912 was mentioned but not explained. Was a result of tensions caused by others to eliminate the voices of change.
Who is speaking in this video?
Bud Cooper, i remember when he bought the place.
@@gcwillson My great grandfather owned it at one time.
Thank you for telling the history of Myton. I'm really glad the so much could be preserved. I agree that it would be really neat to still have the building on top of the old firehouse. Thank again for taking the time to tell the story❤
Damn it’s like 5th Ward politics never changed.
A Ward means Native American or Origine Americans.. And all so called African Americans were put in these sections called Wards to segregate the true Indians from the rest but they never tell you that becuz it'll show who the real Indians are .. But reconstruction of history renamed them African Americans to displace them in history for the progress to continue to steal they're land ... Now they think they are foreign to they're own land ...
Ur spreading lies
5th ward is still neglected
I thought this was going to be THEE Jim Parsons, ie. Sheldon ‘Bazinga’ Cooper from Big Bang Theory.
Thanks sheldon
Where can I attend a presentation like this and where can I find info on when they are going on?
Jim Parsons needs to move to 5th ward
Fuckitol hn,nigga gonna say bazinga and dip tf out
Give it a few years. They’re starting to gentrify the 5th Ward. I guarantee you in 20 years it will be the new hot spot for young professionals. Laugh now, but you just wait.
Brewzerr And current residents being taxed out.
Yeah unfortunately that’s the way things work these days in most big cities. We live in the age of urban gentrification. After several decades of suburban ‘white flight’ (and in Houston’s case - additional ‘black flight’), many of the inner city neighborhoods have decayed to the point where they have zero resale value. Now that the suburbs have pushed out way too far from the city core, many young professionals now want to live in the city, so all these greedy developers are in a feeding frenzy to build as many townhomes, condos, and high-density apartment buildings as they can in all these dilapidated areas. It’s a bittersweet thing.
It's just an ongoing cycle that repeats itself every 50 or 60 years. It'll be the hood ,the a prestigious dwelling.
Houston's "Race Wars"(black vs white vs Latino) was in the early 1910's. And of course the sub-humans would burn down property and homes when black people were doing GREAT...
Nice work...
plzzz 5th ward today 2016 is like a warzone Damascus !!!
Actually it’s a lot less dangerous today than it was in the 70’s and early 80’s. Most of it is abandoned now. It’s almost a ghost town. Lots of empty lots where houses and apartments used to be. It has something like 1/5 the population today than it did 40 years ago. During the ‘black flight’ phenomenon of the 80’s, many of the 5th’s residents moved out to the suburbs of SW Houston and North up to Greenspoint, since the big oil bust forced rents way down in those places. 5th Ward emptied out pretty fast. It’s still rough, but nothing like back then when it was one of the nation’s most dangerous ghettos. Cops wouldn’t even go there in those days.
Brewzerr And now it's Latino majority it's on 5th ward demographics niche.
Yeah that’s what I’ve heard. The 5th ward is going through some major changes right now. The Southern portion of the 5th, the part South of I-10 and North of Buffalo Bayou is being heavily gentrified. They’re building a massive multi-use residential/retail complex on the old KBR site, and that gentrification will likely keep spreading. It’s definitely not the same place it was 20+ years ago.
Outstanding presentation!
Howdy Raj. It was a pleasure driving around with you and discussing the current state and future possibilities of self-driving cars. The autopilot technology introduced by Tesla is by no means perfect, but it's a huge step forward in a technology that is destined to change how people travel.
chump.
Raj - send me your email address so we can send you the official details from the Mayor's Office of Special Events. And, thanks for the great publicity!! Kim@dpwpr.com.
They found an old newspaper article that mentions your great grandfather. How do I send it to you? My email is rvmankad at gmail.
Thank you for your reply. He was my Great grand father. I am researching my family history & this helps out, thank you. If there is anything Bud can remember about George I sure would like to hear it. Tell Bud thank you for me.
Here's what Bud Cooper wrote in response to your question: "The man who was the Indian Agent was George Elliot. He lived in a small house about a block east of the old rodeo grounds."
Do you recall the name of the Indian agent in Myton during the early 1900's? My Great grand father George was an agent there.
aw cmon
