I'm from Alabama. I moved to Houston in 2016. I know more about Houston history than Alabama. Wonderful city!
Outstanding presentation!
I thought this was going to be THEE Jim Parsons, ie. Sheldon ‘Bazinga’ Cooper from Big Bang Theory.
The Fire of 1912 was mentioned but not explained. Was a result of tensions caused by others to eliminate the voices of change.
Where can I attend a presentation like this and where can I find info on when they are going on?
Thanks sheldon
they was definitely divided on race
Nice work...
Wish the mic audio was recorded into the video instead of using the camera mic.

5th ward is still neglected

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.
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.
