Actually black immigrants were critical in propelling HOUSTON to the next level. Take your bigoted ass back to whatever anti immigrant enclave you come.

HOUSTON is the most diverse city in the nation. Meaning more IMMIGRANTS than any other city in the union. I’m sure that makes your skin crawl so it’s best you remain is whatever miserable shyt hole you currently find yourself.

The original town site of Houston was a swamp land on the buffalo bayou that was dredged and cleared by African American slaves. The Houston Tap, which was Houston's first railroad, which led to the city's first economic boom was built by African-American slaves.

The city limits of what was then Houston was a quarter enslaved before the civil war. And the surrounding areas of the metro was half enslaved.

Not to mention the city continued to engage in post emancipation forms of "soft slavery" of African-Americans through vagrancy laws, apprenticeship laws, and convict leasing programs that lasted all the way into the early 20th century. Remember when they discovered the bodies of 95 black men in sugar land who had been forced to work in the sugar mills in the city as leased convicts?

Also, Houston never really became an attractive place to immigrants until after jim crow was eliminated(again we are a SOUTHERN city). Hispanic and later Asian people's population didn't explode until after the civil rights movement of the 60s thanks to the hard work of African-Americans. Before that they were simply very small minorities in the city who were clamoring for the right to be recognized as white(or honorary whites in the case of asians) to gain favor in the racial hierarchy so they didn't get treated like black people. African-Americans were the only ones attacking the racist system of jim crow at it's core to kill it completely, because we got the worst of it.

Events like the Houston camp logan riots, which made even the most vile racist make a committment to non violent resolutions with black people from then on out, the Smith v Allwright & Sweatt v Painter case two landmark Supreme court cases that led to the abolishment of all white primaries and voter discrimination as well as the desegregation of college institutions respectively not just in Houston but the entire state of Texas, and well as the TSU students who risked their lives and freedom to organize all of their sit ins to protest issues like segregation and garbage dumps in minority residential neighborhoods. In many cases older gen hispanics in the city joined racist whites in their protest of desegregation as they didn't want to be considered equal with blacks, but the newer and prospective immigrants welcomed the change(and of course it was the civil rights movement that led to the 1965 immigration reform policy).

The elimination of Jim Crow in the city also allowed Houston to be open to receive federal funding for things like the Medical Center improvements, the Astrodome, and the NASA space program.

African-Americans are more foundational and have contributed more to this city than any other group bar none, all while being the historically the most oppressed. All non-African-Americans living here owe a lot to our community. We will not allow ourselves to be moved out of OUR city that WE built. We will be just as vigorous in asserting our historical place in this city as the hispanics are in Los Angeles.

Not to mention Texas is home to more all-black/freedmens towns, that were built from the ground up by freed African-American slaves and their children than any other state. Houston is an AADOS city regardless of what the current demographics are. Black immigrants are pretty irrelevant in the history of this city tbh.

3rd, 4th, 5th, wards, trinity & kashmere gardens, Studewood/IH, Acres Homes, Sunnyside, Clinton Park, Pleasantville, Bordersville etc(I could go on) were all established and built from the ground up by freed African-American slaves, their children, and grandchildren on empty lots and acreages. Hence the signature AA architectural style of the shotgun homes that line the streets in those places. And that's not even all of them.

Houston has an extremely rich African-Ameircan history. Richer than any other community in the city.

I haven't refuted any of this you miserable twat. Everyone knows black Americans were some of the original founders of the city of Houston, as well as one of the few non sundown towns in Texas. Ex black solders based in Houston were critical in fighting off the waves of white supremacists trying to chase them off their property like the did in Austin and other sundown towns. Everyone shows mad respect to the houston OGs.

Save your fukking essay about Houston for someone else idiot.

That still doesn't change the fact that Houston's diversity is what's allowed it to become a next level city in AMERICA.

Both can be and ARE true

No, the elimination of Jim crow(thanks to the work of AADOS- Which also indirectly led to the exodus of most of the old gen lower and middle class white rednecks. Hence why there's no redneck culture within the city limits and immediate surrounding area like there is in some other southern cities that were slower to the punch), which allowed Houston to receive federal funding for the construction of the Astrodome and NASA(aados had a direct hand in both), as well as improving and expanding the Medical Center is what allowed Houston be to become a modern economically progressive southern city, which THEN led to waves of immigrants and white northern migrants into the city.

Immigrants didn't play any part in that. The sons and daughters of the slaves who built the city did.

And there the fact that pretty much of all of Houston's cultural identity comes from AADOS.

No one outside of the AA community in Houston has ever really contributed to cultural identity of the city.

Think about it:

First music scene- Blues

Oldest park- Emancipation Park(oldest in TX as well)

Most popular music scene- Hip Hop

Signature music style- Chopped and Screwed

Signature car culture- Slabs

Signature college sporting event- Labour Day Classic

Signature narcotic- Drank

Signature BBQ style- (South)East TX, which is firmly rooted in AA traditions

At least 3 of the 10 most popular nicknames, including the #1 most popular nickname for the city(H town) were coined by the urban AA community.

We even got McDonalds using the word "trill" on their billboards in the city.

Two of the most successful record labels to ever come out of the city Peacock-Duke and Rap-a-lot were both born out of the AA community.

Sam Lightnin Hopkins Is the only musician to have a dedicated TX heritage site.

Juneteenth was born here.

Culturally H-town is Detroit.

And we can add the biggest music fest in the city(Astroworld) comes from us as well.

So, how are you gonna tell me that Houston ain't an AADOS city? That's like saying San Diego ain't a Mexican city just because non-hispanics are the majority population today(poor hispanics can't afford to live in most places there, and the older gen ones have been outnumbered for a while or left).

Bro, that shyt was exposed to be a cover up of a scheme by them colonizers to ultimately shutdown the Turkey Leg Hut. Their own private emails in the trial exposed them and did them in.

Houston is an AADOS city at its core. Other groups just live here(thanks to us). Sorry, you can't change history.

Go to the southwest and tell them Mexicans there those cities ain't really Mexican at their core and preach some shyt about "diversity" and being "divisive" and let me know how that works out for ya.

Here's an article to give you a lil insight on how chicanos in the SW feel.

And actually if you wanna get technical AADOS heritage is older than that if you take the entire metro into consideration.

Now, in hindsight you might say that the push for integration was a mistake compared to self sufficiency(see the TX all-black/freedmen's towns), but the fact is that AADOS had an earth shattering effect with the civil rights movement not just in Houston, but in the entire world, that we too often don't get credit for.

you know anything about that AME church on Louisiana, Downtown. I work right across from it, and always imagined they had history behind it and it’s location?

Houston Ship Channel was built off African-American slave labor.

"The greatest item of commerce over the Ship Channel is cotton, and the channel alone saves over $6 million annually to the cotton producers of Texas, as it reduces, for a haul of 50 miles, the railroad rate of 21 cents per hundred pounds to 6 cents," Farbar wrote in his book, "Where Seventeen Railroads Meet the Sea."

Over time, Houston got moving, literally and figuratively. Proof that Houston could be a port of call was only the start. Those ships - most loaded with cotton gathered and loaded by slaves - connected to rail lines. Even in a steamboat era, Houston hitched its wagon to rails, so much so that a train ended up on the city's seal.

Houston a crossroads because of pluck, desperation

That affect was wide. Slaves loaded cargo onto Gulf-bound ships docked in Buffalo Bayou; with coffee in short supply, citizens choked down a substitute brewed from burnt okra or corn; Confederate officers were quartered in downtown’s finest hotels; and schools and convents were converted into field hospitals.
