This is a documentary we made for our history class at the University of Houston, detailing the history of Houston Texas' historic Third Ward and how this history affects it today.
I grew up in Third Ward and to this day it's a part of my very Fiber. I will never forget the lessons and since of responsibility that I received from my Elders. who lived and worked in the Community. I left in 1986 to explore the world and I can honestly say that I was well prepared for the experience. So shout out to those Elders who are still alive and thank you for your Love and Insight
TheOriginalbeing Wow
and now it is full of teenagers killing eachother over words and dont know nothing about hard work
I was born in Houston in 1959. I am white. My parents taught us one of the lessons by Martin Luther King. "Don't you judge anyone by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." I never understood racism, cringed when I heard the "N" word from people I knew. I would have gotten my butt whipped if I ever disrespected anyone for their color or nationality. I thank God for that every single day. Sadly, my upbringing was most definitely the exception, not the rule.
I grew up during forced school integration. Black kids were taken from their neighborhood high schools and bussed to white schools. They were not happy about that. I really don't blame them, but it caused a lot of problems. There was plenty of racism from all ethnic groups and unfortunately still is.
@@hanc37 One group started, and it was even in laws. Now everyone is surprised why a certain race is so violent and careless. It started somewhere.
Your parents are AMAZING Elizabeth! 🙏🏾

@@royharper2003 are you going to be my #1 fan I have to know that before I tell you lol!!! 🫣😏
I was born at St. Joseph's Hospital in 1942. It's right down the street from 'the ward.' When I graduated from university in 1965, i drove over to 3rd ward one Saturday night looking for a jazz band to sit in with. I found The Continental Club, went in and made my way to the bandstand. I was met by Charles 'Spooky' Dancey, (organ) Horace Grigsby, (vocals) and Ronnie Wynn (drums.) They welcomed me up and i played a couple of sets with them. The next day Spooky called and hired me on to work with him that night. I worked with them until Spooky's demise four years later. That experience was really valuable in shaping my musical career. I got to play with topflight musicians that i met through Spooky, both in Houston and Los Angeles, where i spent the summer in 1968. I'm sure the ward has changed, but I fondly remember it as the place where my life-long musical experience was shaped and formulated.
What do you know about JB'S
Entertainment Center??
The music scene was amazing in the Wards from that time and back! So much history people don't know-or care to know about! Much published about the musical history and well worth the time learning about.
I've lived in 3rd ward for 35 years now and I can honestly say this video was very informative and moving. I've learned so much in less than 15 minutes than I've even been taught in the schools that I attended in 3rd ward. I even saw my grandmother drive by in this video lmao. Thanks so much. This was what I needed.
Samething happened to barrio cottage grove and barrio west end off I-ten shepherd
Great documentary! My Dad's restaurant was on Dowling across from the park.Hogrobrooks Fine Foods. After leaving the Eldorado,people would come and have dinner. I met Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, BB King just to name a few. Growing up in 3rd ward was a good life. I attended Blackdhear,J Will Jones,Miller,Ryan Yates and TSU
Enid hogrobrooks hi how far is your pops business from the corner of Texas Avenue@ Dowling i think there is a BBQ spot right there too near star of hope for women.
I am looking to get in contact with Miller alum
I feel like whenever documentaries are made like this, there’s a lot of information that’s left out...
There is a lot of racism lies in this documentary. I know!
@@intoleranttexan5687 how so?
Yeah... like "the truth". Funny how they don't talk about how the residents of this area have destroyed themselves and their own community with drugs and alcohol 22" rims in this video. It's always "society's" fault... you know... systemic racism and all that bullshit. Not THEIR fault--THEIR decisions--THEIR consequences.
This short documentary would be 10 hours long if they were to include everything about " THE TREY".
But they are at least getting made.
I live in Third Ward now and love the history. I sit outside and listen to the TSU band practice. Thank you for the education.
I'm so proud of our culture ❤️ much love who grew up in Houston 3rd ward.
Fight against gentrification come on y'all don't let these people take your neighborhood away from yall

Are most people still afraid of being in that neighborhood?
@@ladarrylemccalpin lmao say all this online but in reality robbing and killing yalls community.
There was a Hispanic community there! My home in the 90's. Third ward molded the person who I am today.
It’s now a Hispanics here now it was mostly black people
I lived there in the early 90s. I rode my bike right down the roads on this video! My father and his family were from the North side of Houston. I think the discrimination claims in this video are shameful lies. There was poor and there was rich! That’s the biggest divides in Houston
@@intoleranttexan5687 the poor and rich are the biggest divides in history, it’s the root of most of history’s prejudice
@@intoleranttexan5687 THE VIDEO DIDN'T LIE ABOUT NOT ONE DAM THING!!!
NAME 1 LIE IN THE VIDEO. I'LL WAIT. I LOVE "THE TREY" AND FUKK WHOEVER DOESN'T!!!
This neighborhood is an historical BLACK neighborhood. She is not talking about any other race.
Houston is a place that has more faith than most other places u get blessed just being under the Houston sun
I am not a Houston native, so I’m not familiar with the history and culture of Houston’s communities. You (and Miss Deloris Johnson!) have helped preserve and share a little information on Black Culture & History, right here in Houston!! Thank you for this video.
I'm originally from Third Ward [Palm&Southmore] but grew up in South Park and a proud 1987 graduate of Jack Yates High School.
A Cherished Gem that crazy I grew on palm street and Almeda bye the funeral home
Adrian Ervin I was an infant living in 3rd Ward. So I don’t have any recollection. Only what my sister told me. But do remember Wesley Square. I lived there during the 70’s .
@@SouthSideLadyWright WESLEY SQUARE??? BKILLA!!
Wow I went to Douglas Elementary in 3rd ward before they closed it down, and so did my parents, cousins, aunts and uncles. Never forget where u come from.
Me too my favorite teachers name was Mrs Sheppard.
Third Ward a lot of history both Northern Third Ward and Southern Third Ward my hood
I went to Douglas as well from kindergarten to 6th grade. Mr. Donnell and Mr. Taylor were the principal and vice principal respectively. After school, we use to go to the "Y". Those 70's were the bomb!!!
I love the lady Delores Johnson. She seems so sweet, kind and involved.
I also love the voice of the lady providing the film narration.
Hey everybody! I’m a TSU graduate. Go Tigers!
I'm from the 713. Good lesson. Proud of my City.
Good job Sarah. Glad someone captures it before it’s gone.
JC442 yep
RIGHT ON!!!
Excellent documentary. I was in Houston about 2 weeks ago and Dowling Street had actually already been changed to Emancipation Avenue. I would have loved to have gone to the Eldorado room get dressed up meet up with my friends and enjoy some excellent Black Talent I heard my mom and my dad used to do that all the time.
Actually there are still parties and events going on there
So much history is Third Ward!!! I hate to see it go away with affluent people (mostly white) moving in and slowly but surely erasing it away. Gentrification must be limited.
Good job Sarah! I loved it.
I'm hoping gentrification moves south and east a little to my neighborhood. We could use some decent grocery stores!
Any race can move in if they have money. These places are run down. The property taxes went up and people are fixing up the area.
I'm so proud of those who have fought for equality. I applaud you.
Very good Sarah and in my humble opinion it deserves an A+ by shedding light for all Americans, after all every City from sea to shinning sea has or had a third ward and your documentary will sink in to those who will take the time to watch this. I did and I'm glad I did.
This was beautiful. Thank you. I love learning more about our great city. We are a city of many , one, and united.
Interesting, but when you talk about economic setbacks, please look at how the government "intervention" has not helped minorities. The black community had a higher economic standard in the 1940s than they do now. The reason? Families stayed together, everyone knows a two income family will be more well off than a single income family. The government replaced the father in many cases and have kept women poor and made the incarceration rate for men go up. Read Thomas Sowell for more information on this.
I wish I could have liked this a trillion times.
Hope you know that facts are racist, right?? Government welfare programs are just another form of enslavement. Its beauty lies in the subtle manner in which this is achieved. It's a poison disguised as sweet candy unwittingly supported by its recipients.
because of segregation.
The Democrat party likes to keep black folks down...
We aint no minority fools
I am white & grew up in Denver Harbor across I10 from 5th ward. I worked at the Lockwood Bank in the 5th & ate at the Lockwood Inn since I was a kid. I always felt safe because blacks & whites had good relations. Houston was a nice place back in the '60s but it's no place for a retired senior now. Too crowded, terrible traffic, claustrophobic. I sure miss the old Houston.
Lockwood Inn was one of a kind!!
Denver harbor is Hispanic now.
I'm not from Third Ward, but I was born and raised in Houston. I see the beauty in Third Ward, and you can see the skyline of Houston. Small history fact: Now, the street Dowling was named after a Confederate General name Dowling, and he was from Tuam. Since this video was made, the City of Houston has changed the street's name to Emancipation. They're still in the process of changing other names.
Excellent video, a couple of days ago I was downtown and decided that I wanted to eat at Sparkles on Dowling. I was eastbound on Texas Ave. and turned on to what I thought was Dowling, I noticed the street sign read Emancipation, so the street has already been changed. I didn't know that the street was originally named after Confederate Richard Dowling. I grew in southwest Houston and attended Richard "Dick" Dowling Jr. High. They changed the name of the school.
How beautiful and effective we would be of we got together to revive 3rd Ward and got some business going back there instead of the malls. We also need to tackle things like stray dogs, theft and dumping. We love to rep our hoods but we treat it like shit... just ignoring how beautiful it once was and the history of it. Our great and grandparents fought for these corners and we go and destroy them with our carelessness and disregard for heritage. Let's do something
1NeoSoulChild I noticed that there was a sign against dumping even back in the old days (see portion when she mentions the shotgun houses).
Native Houstonian and Texas Southern Alumni. Christian Hope BC is my family church. Oh the stories... especially the story of the day Carl Hampton was murdered. My uncle was murdered during that same time.
I'm not from Houston there was a time I lived in 3rd ward off Scott.. Second. Worse experience time living in Houston.. Houston beautiful but I'm glad I don't live in inner Houston.. I'm too simple and you can see the news everyday what I wasn't use to💔💔
Sarah and Noelle, this is extremely informative. We are new residents to the Third Ward and really enjoyed learning more about our new neighborhood. Thank you for assembling this.
I used to ride my big wheel up and down blodget all the way from Dowling to the radio station on Almeda
paradox 7 kcoh!!!
Willie Maree yea , I get kcoh and kyok mixed up , both were popular back then
paradox 7 true man and i forgot about kyok good looking out.
I grew up in a home on the corner of Blodgett and Jackson.
Toni Hoskins is that right ?
Correction : Elgin is pronounced with a “J” not with a G sound
beckap21 Thank you, I thought it was the other way around.
So right... Same thing I said when I heard it....I'm white... But I stayed in 3ward... Lived everywhere... Cuney homes... Shoot even went to church there... ..miss it
I’m proud to have lived in the 3rd ward during my masters program years off and on 2018- 2022 and just graduate for THEE TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY MAY 14, 2022. GO TIGERS!!
I think to have one voice hurts to this video. Nothing about the hostility of the past in Houston on the neighborhood. The TSU riots Carl Hampton and even blacks veterans that where hanged by the city are not mentioned. The churches in the area where less in tuned to support the civil rights movement and MLK when he came to town. Also you cant talk about 3rd ward with out talking to people at Shape,PABA and others that have done so much in the community
PABA, 3212 Dowling." YOU CAN'T PULL A KNIFE OR FIRE A GUN WITH BOXING GLOVES ON"! ------ REV RAY MARTIN.
You're not showing the other side of 3rd ward. It's a huge SHITHOLE. Lots of drugs and violence. you showed a "rosy" view. I grew up in 2nd ward
Coming from someone who grew up in houston Third Ward was only known as a hood
Weingartens...we used to shop there all the time. Jewish family owned it. WOW! Bringing back childhood memories. Well made doc.
You did an excellent job. I hope you received an A. Thanks for posting.
Man I wish all the races could just get along, there’s so much hate between blacks whites and Mexicans
The country was built on hate.
@@supadupa6891 Are you kidding? The whole world, everywhere you go, there is hatred.
Lovely story of progress , community, and diversity.
I'm born and raised in 3rd Ward. Good doc. Kind of watered down. No one calls it The 3rd Ward
11/10 this is the best thing I've ever seen
Yep still remember my address all though it not there any more mom made me memorize it 2111R2 Live Oak
I love my City Mane.. 1Luv 3rd Ward!!
All Day In Da Tre.. Great doc on my hood’s history... 👌🏾🤘🏾
DatNiggaChance HTX 👍🏾
3rd ward is so convinient, close to downtown, not too far from woodlands, if not for the drugs and crimes and ignant people that live there it would be perfect
Complete opposite side of the metro than the The Woodlands.
Black Star far from the Woodlands
Better find you another "convenient" neighborhood brother and a new map. Maybe closer to "The Hoodlands".
@Black Star
Lol how did you put 3rd ward and the Woodlands together? You might as well be talking about California and New York.
Why would you want to go to the woodlands? A bunch of racist uptight people.... it’s literally like 1-2 hrs away super far away
No one’s going to say anything about the still shot of the Grape Shasta can? 🤔
Did the migration from N.O. after hurricane Katrina have any effect on Third Ward? I understand a lot of folks moved from there to Houston, but don't know if they went to Third Ward.
How is BLM helping the black community?
I love the south, it's so beautiful!
Texas isn't technically the South. It's Texas.
Maggie Grace Rasor it's the south like it or not.
It may be considered Southwest, however, it has all the makings of a southern state.
@@maggie2sticks717Texas was, is, and always will be southern.
@@maggie2sticks717 Texas is the South.... and no, contrary to what Thomas Sowell brainwashed you to believe, poverty in the black community is not all because of the democrats.... or republicans. I have seen far worse racism in Chicago than Houston, but there is and had been racism in Texas.... and funding differences as well.
nice video. i lived in HOUSTON and enjoyed its rich history. 3rd ward should always be preserved. being white we should never forget our past and never repeat it. but allow our future generations of our country to remember as well. we must never forget. sincerely, a damn Yankee...peace.
3rd Ward is a disaster. When I was in college I did Amazon Flex deliveries and half the time I’d get shifts delivering to 3rd Ward and it was always scary. Lots of aggressive homeless, addicts, gangs and loose dogs. Always saw police around yellow tape houses and lots of fighting among the locals. You’d be crazy to go to the park, restaurant or even park your car and go for a run down the street. It’s dangerous there.
Yeah, it's a total war zone. I live around the Houston area and haven't been through 3rd ward in many years. I avoid it like the plague.
@@WZPXZMDQRGTHEFYOPBMLNSHOPJBOJT STAY YOUR SCARY ASS OUT OF THE ""3RD"!!!!!
White people get on my damn nerves…
Go down there and get robbed it's a ghetto
@@pokeypigg3931 why would anyone even go to the 3rd ward for. It’s a complete dump but them white folks coming in and cleaning it up and doing what the blacks didn’t do.
Wolfs Pawn shop is no longer there. It has been replaced by a black owned gym and the El Dorado Ballroom is being renovated. Dowling has officially been renamed Emancipation Street.
Wolf's is not black owned. Being an octogenarian I recall Dowling being a street loaded with black owned businesses.
I remember Wolf’s dept store being owned by a Jewish family.
There was also another local dept store called Ruebenstein’s in 3rd Ward owned by a Jewish family as well.
Drugs and gangs and bad parents have nothing to do with it , huh
and who infested 3rd ward with drugs?
@@cavitycreep
Learn to take responsibility Rather than excuses...
Nobody poured it down their throat
In some cases it was poured down their throats.....This country should take responsibility without being forced to for its role in systematic oppression. And btw 🖕🏿you and the original commenter. I typed that with a smile on my face!
Todd Guillory u say take responsibility but want to ignore those responsible for importing drugs into this communities.
Robert R 👏🏽👏🏽💯
I’m going to move here one day, the homes seem nice and it’s close to an ER (i’m working to be in the medical field) I can’t wait to live in 3rd ward
The Jason's lyric music playing in the background. That was made in 3rd ward too. Dowling and live oak emancipation park and other places in houston. Love my city
Jason's Lyric was filmed in the 4th Ward.
Brian Lohse ralston liquor store and the blue store was on Dowling and Live oak in 3rd ward. I lived right down the street from there in a house across from wolfs department store/pawnshop. Our house was torn down in 08. I’m sure it wasn’t fully filmed in third ward but most scenes were. The carnival scene was at emancipation park.
@@cherokeegotti4903 Ok parts were filmed off w
Gray. Great movie
Great stuff
Thank you!
This started out as good history but morphed into a political statement.
Thats what the devil do
👏👏👏👏👏 I had high hopes for this but she had to get all SJW. A shame because she had some great content to work with.
I live in Houston and ride thru third ward every day. Their tearing it down, building thousands of condos trying to move the white folks back in. This is a whole ad. A fuckin promo video
@@georgedawson8591 because people are moving out and selling their property. Money talks.
nice documentary
My Hood !❤❤❤ I went to..J Will Jones Elementary, Ryan Middle , Jack Yakes H.S.. aka JY, aka tha Yard !.. I was on the Drill Team @ St . John Church late 80s..@ Eman.. Park Mr. Doug was over the events we had field trips to tha(Lockwood) skating rink in 5 ward ..yes I was a kid back then ..had fun! .. &..Yes it was a lot of churches in 3rd Ward
I went to all the schools u named … and CLC and Turner Elementary too
This is superb! Cinematography, narration, drone use and the story line is fantastic. Thanks!
Correction: The city of Houston gov was notified numerous times at city hall in 1998 by a single houstonian, That Dick Dowling's terrible historic past and name should be removed ,at the time anise parker sat as a council member under Mayor Lee p.brown,all though the city minutes clearly show houstonian Joshua Ben Bullard was the sole Individual to contest Dowling and first Individual in Houston history to contest the issue of Dowlings confederate affiliation with city government , twenty years later both Mayor Sylvester Turner and the Houston chronicle would choose to bury these historical city facts with no mention of Joshua Bullards place in the historical record ,a houstonian with a forward vision ahead of his Time, it would take the City of Houston twenty years to implement Bullard demands .
@Mike Wilson who gives a fuck. I still got my white last name. Yall act like just confederates stepped on black people necks. Removing Dowling from Third Ward erases history fool.
I like the back of the bus the fire exits in the back
There is a lot of incorrect information and some very important facts left out. Third ward is bounded by main street up to buffalo bayou around to Macgregor. Before U.S. 59 came through there, Jews and blacks both lived there with a few Italian families mostly west of Hamilton street. The stores Wiengartens was owned by Jews. These socalled row houses where built as temp housing for the railroad workers that were close to the track that ran from north of I45 along where 288 out to Sugarland and a song was made named after the train that passed by the central Prison in Sugar land where Lead Belly Blake made the song midnight speacial.
I lived in the big green house/dentistry right across from wolf's pawnshop. 2718 Dowling Street
When I left south La. I ended up 3rd ward Southmore & Scott great experience
I appreciate the inclusion of the bar graph at 9:12 but it has no source listed, no individual job specified nor year indicated.
The following graph at 9:26 shows 2% of 75 million in the white collar workforce whom qualify for healthcare, not jobs in 2017...
(Restless Bandit looks for candidates eligible for healthcare, not labor statitics)
That eldorado needs to be renovated into a new music venue
Keep on preaching and reliving racism ,I can say a lot about my Hispanic community being mistreated but would rather succeed and show what hard work can do
Yeah so when Jews and history books teach about the Holocaust the Jewish people are “preaching and reliving racism” and not trying to succeed and work hard? Silly. Some Hispanics wanna be white so bad it’s hilarious. By the way Hispanic isn’t a race. There are black and white Latinos. From the sound of it you’re a white hispanic, correct?
@@Nova.t I'm a white guy and I've had to work hard for everything I have. Oh, and I don't preach or complain either.
@@Nova.t wrong on being there black and white Latinos. There are light-skinned and mestizo(Spanish meaning a person of mixed heritage usually one the many Amerindian tribes/groups and Spaniard). The light-skinned are obviously of Spaniard descent.
@@Nova.t Also, Mr. Eddy, if you haven't noticed in the USA Hispanic/Latino is considered a race noticed how there is a racial category under racial demographics when answering government forms and job applications. SMH at your ignorance.
@@NavyCook08 it’s really not considered a race. That’s why it asks if you are Hispanic and then asks what ethnicity you are. Even the US knows it’s a cultural category
My mother grew up in the 3rd Ward in the 50's & 60's. She said it was a beautiful neighborhood, that is until integration started. Once that happened, crime rates and violence shot up. They moved to Galveston by the late 60's, to get away from it. She was talking with a woman a couple years ago that was from the 3rd Ward, and asked whatever happened to such n such who had that store. The lady replied, "oh they robbed and killed him years ago". And that's exactly why they left.
Very informative video. I've lived just outside of what's considered Houston for about 2 years, but have tried to learn more about the city's history, as east and south of downtown is still very unfamiliar to me. I've heard a lot of people refer to places like Third Ward as "ghetto", but always figured that wasn't a fair critique. I've driven around Third Ward and other areas trying to get a better understanding of what they're like, and it's unfortunate how impoverished some areas are. UofH looks very nice, and there are some areas that seem to be doing quite well. I hope it can continue to improve and thrive. Despite it's problems, I do like Houston and want it to prosper.
Great video, very informative
I love my Home... 713forlife
Fuck 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
Loretta Pace what
Nice documentary love from the UK
I liked this until commentary got to “failure because of color of skin” it’s just not true. We have always been peaceful and integrated for generations, just like Deloris said about integration. All our families of all colors will tell you the same. Shame on you for making racism an issue where it isn’t one!
The 3rd was a black hub for economic growth. After segregation like many cities blacks moved to be in diverse neighborhoods. Drugs and crime riddled the area and the place went down. Houston only has a black population of 25%. Yes blacks make up 1/4 of the population. The influx of immigration from Latin,Asian, African and Middle Eastern countries shifted the population. Many blacks moved to the outskirts, other cities or left the state all together. By 2050 Houston is projected to be 10% black. Black night clubs, restaurants, and businesses in general have all but disappeared. I'm talking about very prominent places because there are many black businesses but not thriving like Atlanta, New Orleans, Charlotte,Jackson and even Dallas. The black neighborhoods, culture and growth has pretty much vanished.
LadyLioness Hispanics are know owning beauty supply stores in the black communities.
LadyMikey35 I don't know about owning in Houston but they are hired to run them by Asians I see.
C caymer yep
census 2020 shows the black population in inner-city houston has indeed been steadily falling, they compromise 22% of the population now. It does show that they have been growing in the suburbs/outskirts of the city.
Contrary to popular belief the history of shotgun architecture originated in Africa and made its way to Haiti and Louisiana.
Did someone 👀 a Diabolic Face at the back wall even the eyes, at minute 3.00 😳
So scary 😨
God bless take away all evil and protect us from all accidents 🙏
My people we from Matagorda tx but I was born at Riverside hospital in 3 ward , it was a clinic before it shut down
Had some high times back behind the Brown Cab Co back in the day ! Shout out to Nino, you still alive ?
"diverse black community"? so why not just black community?
Tighty Whitey Because they used immigration as a weapon against all black communities that's how they flush us out.
How did they flush yall out with immigration? I don't understand this. (asking respectfully)
@@maggie2sticks717 bringing other races
Wolfs department store, barbecuing in Emancipation Park God memories are coming back
Thank you for this!
Everyone needs salvation here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that you died for me on calvary and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness every night
We're not slaves just workers who finally could work for someone else.
Prior to the well fair programs if the LBJ administration and the introduction of crack in the 80's the wards (and especially 3rd ward) had a thriving economic and social community. It was a self sustaining economic powerhouse with opportunities. Many buildings and houses are still standing and reflect the prosperity of that time. It was a good time to live for most everyone in Houston of all races. This is well documented in books and publications and well worth the time to research.
Really nice presentation and informative video.
Thanks glad to know alittle about where im from houston yellowstone mlk
Making Houston a safe and prosperous city will require a massive international military operation with artillery, napalm, and war crimes no cap. It'd be akin to the US in Iraq back in the day lol
Alot of what was said is true only to a point. Most is not race but a culture thing. Blacks can go to a rich school with new books. Just like they can graduate and become whatever they want and be stable. But also they can work at McDonald's if they choose.... and well..we'll... they chose just like any race. And ignorance is bliss in BLM movement. They have even screwed their own people and chapters over. It's about time to stop making excuses and holding yourselves back and move on and always remember the history but learn from it and become better. Don't use it as a crutch
Surprised no one said anything about Beyonce being from here
Is she from there? I had no idea. Well she had the good sense to leave and never look back. Third Ward is nothing to be proud of.
SOUNDS LIKE SEGREGATION WAS THE KEY. EVERYONE HAS THEY'RE OWN AND THRIVED. SAD OUTCOME. HOPEFULLY THINGS CHANGE MORE. STAY SAFE AND BLESSED BEAUTIFUL FAMILIES 💕🙏🌹🫂🥲
Where is all the black people goin? Seems like every city that used to be all black is now all mexican.
Mason C. I agree
There not coming here where I live in San Antonio, TX. The white and black people are leaving. Probably moving to Colorado.
The effect of systematic racism playing out today should be included. It's so not a thing of the past
Hello Sarah, Can you tell me more about this class. I am looking to get a similar video for Third Ward made. You seem to have a lot of content already, would you be interested in a collaboration or fee for service?
So, integration was Blacks downfall (set back)? Hmph!
very impressive. what was your inspiration?
I was born in Houston Texas in 1966 3rd ward was home until I left
you have to do a Northside of houston documentary that's where I'm from
I love you video you do it so well
Another messed up side of Houston ghetto
Born and raised there.. Last name Conner.. sound familiar 😏
H-Town ?
Very nice documentary
