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 💕🙏🌹🫂🥲

How stupid “these buildings are maintained as part of black history and culture? WTF is that? Jesus everything has to be symbolic for blacks when ultimately it was their own people who rounded them up, raped, beat and stole them from their countries and sent them out on boats to America. So we have to “honor” this? Why don’t you be embarrassed about your own having so little care and disregard that they would throw you away like a piece of trash? Now that is something… Why don’t you go find the Zanzibar tribal leader’s relatives and hold them accountable???? Oh yeah because that doesn’t pay for your sht…. Disgusting

Culture.

It’s hard to understand this man but I love Freddy rip 🇺🇸🇲🇽❤️

This really how it be in 3RD WARD‼️👌🏾 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZd7bKanvsWooZ8.htmlsi=03bFNjd4MZPPxa_V

🤣🤣wow 👍

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

ONCE GOT A LETTER from Huey P.Meaux. It was odd since I had never met him. Musta gotten my address from musician. A mixup of sorts. Can t remember the details, late 80s. Not sure what was the intention, prob bookings 4 sby to N.Europe. Got the envelope still, though. Produced T--Bone Walker s last sessions on his Home Cookin lbl WELL DONE ..

JOHNNY COPELAND s home turf, bluesman/deep soul singer. Great guy. Don Robey ...owner of Duke/Peacock/Backbeat ..no comm .....

Wolfs department store, barbecuing in Emancipation Park God memories are coming back

I was born in Houston Texas in 1966 3rd ward was home until I left

very impressive. what was your inspiration?

RIP Freddy, Huey,Mickey,Carlton,Leo…and all the other great friends , living or otherwise,I had during the Freddy days at Sugar Hill…it was fun to play guitar on Freddy’s records…I miss those days…

You know what else went down lady? Your culture. It's been replaced by gangster rap music which degrades women and promotes violence and drug use. And those wards are full of gang violence as well. I doubt she still lives there.

They have gentrified the area so bad. Now all of the whites and Asians are moving in. Tearing the homes down building cheaply built expensive town home. Even changing the street names.

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

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.

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.

This was an informative and enjoyable video until you praised Black Lives Matter, a Marxist organization that cares very little about black people and more about getting rich and having power. Google it. Shameful. Ruined it for me........

Houston is a place that has more faith than most other places u get blessed just being under the Houston sun

Forgot to mention the "culture" of trash piles in yards, TSU black leadership corruption, un-wed single motherhood percentage, and the celebration of THoT and "hustle" culture.

It also has a very high crime rate and a low rated school system.

cuney Homes and McGowen

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.

My people we from Matagorda tx but I was born at Riverside hospital in 3 ward , it was a clinic before it shut down

The weingartein store was owned by the Jewish family hence I’m confused

This is Indian land, Sarah. Remember who was here first and will be here last when you wasicuns and zhinnis leave..

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)

Love ❤️ the history of my city! ⭐️🦲🚀🚢

That eldorado needs to be renovated into a new music venue

We're not slaves just workers who finally could work for someone else.

lmao the colored junior college, no ma'am 😃

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.

Coming from someone who grew up in houston Third Ward was only known as a hood

Now it’s full of gentrification. They are tearing down all the black history. Tearing down the historic homes… changing street names.. it’s horrible

you have to do a Northside of houston documentary that's where I'm from I love you video you do it so well

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.

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'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.

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.

Blm is a fraud, communist, racist organization. Black folks deserve better from themselves . Fuck blm

So black people can have a proud black neighborhood but white people can't have a proud white neighborhood?

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

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.

For the dummies yes fourth ward was the first black neighborhood then fifth ward third ward wasn’t black until so time later because of it being right by downtown is how it changed over the years the whites moved out and LEFT third ward to rot they abandoned it and moved to less black places like Kirby and Katy 3rd ward was a white neighborhood these pictures are in black in white to make them look old 3rd ward wasn’t shitty always

as of year 87 99

She said Elgin 😂😂😂😂 it’s pronounced El-Gin

I'm so proud of those who have fought for equality. I applaud you.

No one’s going to say anything about the still shot of the Grape Shasta can? 🤔

Made it soooo much better nowadays ha ha ..homeless needles street walkers liquor stores parks with graffiti wedlock society... Much cleaner much pasty looking back yonder .
