A Message From Our President
Judson Robinson III • President and CEO
The Winter Storm of the Century
Black History month was in full swing when the Winter Storm of the Century hit Texas this February. Due to the increased awareness of the Black struggle for equality and equity and the death of fellow Houstonian George Floyd and others, there has been a sincere push to learn and bring awareness during this historical month, and understanding of the importance of Black History. We have been excited to engage with so many new interested history seekers and community stakeholders. Despite our personal challenges, these events did not diminish our staff's ability to continue to provide services in a safe manner or encourage vaccinations to stop the spread. For the first time in many years, we were optimistic that our conversations around social justice and economic equality would lead to actions, including us building a stronger union together. However, on February 15th, the Texas Winter Storm wreaked havoc on our entire community. Now, in the spirit of our ancestors that fought for us and so many others to have civil rights, it's our time to fight! Together, we will make sure all of our neighbors have the resources they need to recover after the storm.
