Johnny Holmes opened the doors of the Victory Grill in 1945, the first customers
being Black servicemen from Fort Hood who were not allowed in the USO or other segregated Austin clubs. This portrayal of the people behind one of Austin's original spots offers a taste of authentic Blues and Jazz and down-home hospitality.
Makers:Carlyn Hudson, Creston Whittington, Benjamin Lyon and Hannah Kitziger
