Join Lloyd Gite and Lindsay Gary, author of “The New Red Book: A Guide to 50 of Houston’s Black Historical and Cultural Sites” for an engaging discussion of Houston’s Black history and cultural landmarks.

The New Red Book by Lindsay Gary highlights 50 cultural organizations and sites created and sustained by African Americans. It documents little-known histories of the Almeda Post Office, the site of the first non-violent civil rights demonstration in the city, as well as pop culture destinations such as Frenchy’s Creole Kitchen and Screwed Up Records and Tapes. 

The title pays tribute to the original 1915 publication The Red Book of Houston: A Compendium of Social, Professional, Religious, Education and Industrial Interests of Houston’s Colored Population, recognized by researchers as one of a kind for its detailed description of African American success in the South during a time of social and political upheaval. 

The Gite Gallery is a featured location and we’d like to invite you to join a discussion with owner Lloyd Gite and Lindsay Gary. The discussion will be moderated by Frederick J. Goodall, content creator and event host.

There will be light bites and complimentary champagne.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration required.
