Why hasn't the City of Houston promoted this more? This is the perfect way to learn Hoston History! I am glad I found Houston Arts and Media! I will look forward to seeing more of your "HAM Slices of History." You guys should do a TV show.

That's great! Which school district is it?

There is a school district in Houston that is revamping the social studies curriculum so that one full year is dedicated to studying Houston. I will let them know that information on Houston is available here.
