  1. In a milestone moment for the city’s long-awaited Hispanic History Research Center,more than 200 Houston residents packed into a dilapidated warehouse Saturday in the East End for a community forum to discuss the future of the promised Latino-focused archival library.

    Hosted by Council Members Mario Castillo, Joaquin Martinez and Julian Ramirez, the self-coined “Three Amigos” and the city’s only Latino council members, the forum was the first opportunity for community input on a project that has been in the works for years but has, until now, made little progress. 

    The planned Houston Public Library facility was first added to the city’s projects listduring former Mayor Sylvester Turner’s administration after voters approved funding in a 2017 bond issue, but library representatives said natural disasters like hurricanes and the pandemic delayed the project.
