Do take a look at the fascinating new exhibit at the HPL Julia Ideson Building:
August 27, 2016 - November 12, 2016
The Houston Metropolitan Research Center salutes its 40th anniversary by honoring a gallery of individuals who dedicated their lives to making the world a better place for future generations.
These courageous Houstonians spanned the 20th century in diverse fields such as business, medicine, civil rights, social justice, the arts, journalism, environmentalism, education and government service. The personal and social challenges they encountered and took on had a lasting impact on the city of Houston, the state, nation and even the world. Their challenges resonate today as we face variations on many of the same issues.
This exhibition tells the stories of these incredible individuals through photographs, documents, audio-visual media and ephemera.
It is generously supported by City of Houston, Houston Public Library and the Houston Metropolitan Research Center.
