Houston is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas, fourth most populous city in the United States, as well as the sixth most populous in North America, with an estimated 2018 population of 2,325,502.[2] Located in Southeast Texas near Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, it is the seat of Harris County and the principal city of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which is the fifth most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States and the second most populous in Texas after the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with a population of 6,997,384 in 2018.[5]
Comprising a total area of 637.4 square miles (1,651 km2),[6] Houston is the eighth most expansive city in the United States (including consolidated city-counties). It is the largest city in the United States by total area, whose government is not consolidated with that of a county, parish or borough. Though primarily in Harris County, small portions of the city extend into Fort Bend and Montgomery counties, bordering other principal communities of Greater Houston such as Sugar Land and The Woodlands.
The city of Houston was founded by land investors on August 30, 1836,[7] at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou (a point now known as Allen's Landing)[8] and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837.[9] The city is named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had won Texas' independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of Allen's Landing.[9] After briefly serving as the capital of the Texas Republic in the late 1830s, Houston grew steadily into a regional trading center for the remainder of the 19th century.[10]
The arrival of the 20th century saw a convergence of economic factors which fueled rapid growth in Houston, including a burgeoning port and railroad industry, the decline of Galveston as Texas' primary port following a devastating 1900 hurricane, the subsequent construction of the Houston Ship Channel, and the Texas oil boom.[10] In the mid-20th century, Houston's economy diversified as it became home to the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.
Houston's economy since the late 19th century has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation. Leading in healthcare sectors and building oilfield equipment, Houston has the second most Fortune 500 headquarters of any U.S. municipality within its city limits (after New York City).[11][12] The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled.[13] Nicknamed the Bayou City Space City”, H-Town, and “the 713”, Houston has become a global city, with strengths in culture, medicine, and research. The city has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large and growing international community. Houston is the most diverse metropolitan area in Texas and has been described as the most racially and ethnically diverse major metropolis in the U.S.[14] It is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits, which attract more than 7 million visitors a year to the Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and offers year-round resident companies in all major performing arts.

J. Paul Barnett
June 5, 1934 - Oct. 25, 2010
SOUTH BEND - J. Paul Barnett, 76, of South Bend, passed away at 2:58 a.m. Monday, October 25th, in Memorial Hospital after an extended illness. Mr. Barnett was born on June 5, 1934, in South Bend, and had resided in the area his lifetime. On September 4, 1976, in South Bend, he married Carol L. Best, who survives. Also surviving are two stepdaughters, Rebecca Ann Best of North Liberty and Patricia Lynne (Robert) DeMeyer of South Bend; four grandchildren, Rebecca S. Barnett of Elkhart, IN, Steven, Hannah and Kevin DeMeyer of South Bend; a sister, Lois Jean Hanna of Brooksville, Florida; two nieces, Roberta Van Sickle and Luanne Hanna. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, John A. and Edith Fern (McGuire) Barnett; and a son, John P. Barnett Jr., who passed away Dec. 3, 1991. Mr. Barnett was owner of South Bend Replicas, Inc., in South Bend prior to his death. Paul graduated from Central High School, Franklin College and Ball State University. In his younger years he was an Indiana State Trooper, U.S. Army veteran, a high school English teacher, a vocational musician in local venues, and other things that evolved into a career working in the field of antique artillery. As a manufacturer, his work was invited into many federal, state, local and private historical projects. The sailing ships Lady Washington, Kalmar Nyckel, Pride of Baltimore, and H.M.S. Rose have been among client ships. Historic forts and sites using antique replica artillery made by Paul for their living history programs include Fort Ticonderoga, Colonial Williamsburg, Sutter's Fort and Fort Ross in California, and Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Matanzas National Monuments at St. Augustine, and Mission San Luis at Tallahassee. Museum and Monument projects have included DuPont's Hagley Museum and West Point. Movies in which artillery by Barnett has appeared include the feature film Glory; Spielberg and Disney have been repeat clients. In 1967, symphony conductor Erich Kunzel approached Barnett about possibly producing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture live in accordance with the original 1880 score and plan, into which 16 muzzle-loading cannon shots had been specifically written to be fired with musical precision from an electric switch panel constructed for an 1881 event that failed to materialize. Also in 1967, Paul had undertaken research on Lyle guns, pieces of light artillery developed in 1978 for projecting lifelines to and from distressed ships. A sharing of efforts by Kunzel and Barnett led Barnett into a secondary career of performing with many orchestras and conductors doing historically valid 1812 performances in the United States and as far away as Lenigrad, Russia. In 1990, under invitation of the Russian government and within earshot of the composer's grave, Barnett was delighted to assist in bringing the Overture home in a worldwide celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Tchaikovsky's birth, in the city (now again St. Petersburg) of his youth. The annual Kunzel/Barnett collaboration continued until 2009. Other conductors who became variously involved across the years included Andrew Kostelanetz, Henry Mancini, Mstislav Rostropovich, Leonard Slatkin and others at places such as Wolf Trap, Ravinia, Saratoga, Bethel Woods, Mann, Blossom, Meadow Brook, and other performing art centers. Paul's published work includes a reference catalog on antique artillery, a book, The Lifesaving Guns of David Lyle, and various articles in professional and trade journals. Some of his memberships were in the U.S. Lifesaving Service Heritage Association, the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, the National Rifle Association, The American Federation of Musicians, and the Company of Military Historians. Also the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity. Visitation hours will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, October 28, in the Hanley & Sons Southwest Chapel Funeral Home, located at West Ireland Road/Indiana 23, South Bend. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 29, in the funeral home, with burial following at Sumption Prairie Cemetery, with military services.
A Piece of Our Soul

Arkansas folk artist LeeNora Parlor explores the juncture of history and place from which identity is derived. Her work plumbs a world of deceptively simple, almost cryptic landscapes populated by characters with complex and powerful faces. Along the way she discovers who I really am in a place somewhere between memories and dreams.
Alabama
Visit Alabama! Learn about this state and its history - with a focus on the civil rights struggle - in the latest addition to our video series about the U.S. states; presented by Jennifer Hall Godfrey, Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Mission to International Organizations in Austria. #50states #AL
Transcript:
Hello. I'm Jennifer Hall Godfrey, the Public Affairs Officer at the United States Mission to International Organizations in Vienna, Austria. I'm happy to introduce you to the state of Alabama.
Like many of our states, the name Alabama comes from the name of a local Native American tribe. It is a beautiful state. Peach and pecan trees, and blackberry bushes, grow wild in Alabama's fields of rich soil and red clay. The state's chicken, cattle, cotton, and soybean farms provide work for many. Hunting and fishing are popular pastimes, and Alabama's coastline along the Gulf of Mexico has beautiful sandy beaches and emerald waters, making it a popular vacation spot.
Alabama has a significant history in the United States Civil War. During that war, Alabama was one of the original seven states of the Deep South to secede from the Union. Montgomery became the capital of the Confederate States of America, and Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president, resided there.
Long after the South lost the Civil War, racial tensions remained high in the United States, into the mid-20th century, including in Alabama. In 1955, an African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white passenger. This act of civil disobedience was the spark for what became known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, during which African Americans refused to ride public buses. The boycott lasted more than a year and hurt the city transit system financially. It ended in 1956, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the decision of a Montgomery federal court to strike Alabama's bus segregation laws.
A pastor at a Montgomery church, Martin Luther King, Jr., was a leader in the boycott. He went on, of course, to play a prominent role in the civil rights movement. The attention he brought to segregation, including his famous I Have a Dream speech, lead to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This act outlawed major forms of discrimination against African Americans and women.
Even so, many African American voters were still unable to register to vote. In 1965, Dr. King led a march in Alabama from Selma to Montgomery to draw attention to the issue. Alabama state police held the marchers back at Selma, using whips, night sticks, and tear gas. The TV coverage of the violence outraged many Americans, and President Lyndon Johnson sent U.S. army troops and the Alabama National Guard to protect the protestors. The 2,000 men and women participating in the march were joined in Montgomery by 50,000 supporters gathered at the capitol to hear King speak. No tide of racism can stop us, he said.
As a result of the march, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, which banned literacy tests and other requirements that had been used to prevent African Americans from voting. While Alabama's motto -- We Dare Defend Our Rights -- was chosen before the civil rights movement reached its apex, it became all the more meaningful for Alabama because of the civil rights movement.
Alabama today is home to a diverse population of almost 5 million with a wide variety of interests. The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is one of the largest in the world, with more than 400 performances a year.
Montgomery's Museum of Fine Arts houses paintings by Zelda Fitzgerald, who grew up in Montgomery. Huntsville is home to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and the visitor center for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
Tuskegee hosts the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, the training facility for the first African American military aviators in the United States armed forces. And Monroeville is the birthplace of two great 20th-century American authors, Truman Capote and Harper Lee. Every year Monroeville hosts a performance of To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee's Southern Gothic classic story.
In Alabama you can visit Mobile, the birthplace of baseball great Hank Aaron. Or take in an American football game and enjoy the historic competition between Alabama's two biggest universities, the University of Alabama and Auburn University.
In Alabama's largest city, Birmingham, you can visit Vulcan, the largest cast iron statue in the world, which honors the city's history in the iron and steel industry. Birmingham is also home to the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, where you can learn about legendary jazz greats with Alabama ties, including Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, and Erskine Hawkins.
I hope you've enjoyed learning a little bit about Alabama. From history to sports, science and technology to the arts, farming to fishing on the Gulf Shores, Alabama is a remarkable state.
African American Art Curator Talk
Virginia Mecklenburg, senior curator, explores the work of Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Lois Mailou Jones, Melvin Edwards, and other artists featured in the exhibition African American Art: Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era, and Beyond. These artists participated in ongoing dialogues about art, black identity, and individual rights that engaged American society in the twentieth century. Using documentary realism, painterly expressionism, and the postmodern assemblage of found objects, they rewrote American history and its art.

Strange Artifacts Found in American Deserts
At one point in time, the entire mojave desert was covered in water and before European settlers moved in, it was inhabited by massive wild animals, and advancee native americwn civilizations some of whic mysteriously disappeared. From sandals left by the anasaxi to even a mummified cowboy, here are...

6. Sloth Dung
A giant, extinct sloth once lived inside caves in Utah and it turns out he used this cave as a toilet, whenever duty called. Analyzing this mummified dung can give researchers an insight on what he was eating 11,000 years ago. A chemical analysis shows that it feasted on a shrub known as desert globemallow, which is often nicknamed Mormon Tea, as well as a drought surviving plant known as saltbush. Modern days sloths don’t regulate temperature very well and finding this dung inside a cave also proves that they must have began finding shelter in caves in order to keep warm. This give them a good idea of what plants were growing in present day Utah as well as the climate
5.Anasazi Sandals
The anasazi are a very mysterious tribe of native americans who often had some strange displays of cave art near the 4 corners region of the united states. Did you think californians were the first to use flip flops? That’s clearly not the case as more and more sandal artifacts from the anasazi people are showing up! The desert ground is often hot for at least half of the year and it’s not the easiest thing to step on if you’re barefoot. The anasazi manufactured sandals made from whole leaf yucca which was woven carefully to the person’s foot. Prehistoric sandals were nothing like the kind of shoes we have today but the crafting techniques certainly show a degree of sophistication. Sandals were interweaved with looms diagonally from one side of the sandal to the other, creating enough layers to keep their feet protected on a minimal level
4.Cowboy Mummy
There aren’t a whole lot mummies in North America compared to places like Egypt or Peru but the very few mummies that have been discovered in our deserts are pretty creepy. This mummy were looking at here was found in the desert near Gila Bend Arizona and he was given the nickname of Sylvester, kind of like the cat. Rumor on the web has it that he was caught cheating while playing poker, and tried to escape the angry person shooting at him by running off into the desert. He bled out and the dry desert preserved his body. However that might have just been a story to attract some attention. It’s most likely that his body was quickly preserved with an abnormally large amount arsenic after passing. It’s turned out the real answer was a little bit of both stories and he was found to have buckshot in his internal organs. He’s on display at the Ye old curiousity shop in seattle washington.
3. The Mojave Nugget
The largest known golden nugget found in California is known as the Mojave nugget and it was found in 1977 by a prospector Ty Paulsen. Weighing in at 4.9 kilograms it’s worth roughly 205,800 dollars with the current price of gold! Who knew a hobby could result in such a life changing discovery. The massive chunk of gold ore was found near Randsburg, California which as had a history of gold mining since 1895 when gold was first discovered. Ty Paulsen is certainly happy no other pioneer was able to find this chunk of metal! It was apparently so heavy, that a special gold scale had to be created for this specific specimen.

Located south of Las Vegas, the petroglyphs of sloan canyon are often overlooked by the petroglyphs at the valley of fire or red rock canyon. How these should not be overlooked, and are some of the best preserved petroglyphs in the western united states. It’s not a tourist friendly attraction and the sloan canyon conservation area was created basically to keep people out rather than to keep them in.. They date back to 12,000 years ago and it requires an intense 2 to 3 mile hike to reach. Much of the artwork is open to interpretation and some of them might even make you wonder if the piutes who lived here might have made some kind of contact with extraterrestrials. It’s believed that the valley was filled with more water at one point in time, meaning that it was much more habitable than it is now.

Racism, School Desegregation Laws and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States
The African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955--1968) refers to the social movements in the United States aimed at outlawing racial discrimination against black Americans and restoring voting rights to them. This article covers the phase of the movement between 1955 and 1968, particularly in the South. The emergence of the Black Power Movement, which lasted roughly from 1966 to 1975, enlarged the aims of the Civil Rights Movement to include racial dignity, economic and political self-sufficiency, and freedom from oppression by white Americans.
The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance. Between 1955 and 1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to these situations that highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans. Forms of protest and/or civil disobedience included boycotts such as the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955--1956) in Alabama; sit-ins such as the influential Greensboro sit-ins (1960) in North Carolina; marches, such as the Selma to Montgomery marches (1965) in Alabama; and a wide range of other nonviolent activities.
Noted legislative achievements during this phase of the Civil Rights Movement were passage of Civil Rights Act of 1964, that banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin in employment practices and public accommodations; the Voting Rights Act of 1965, that restored and protected voting rights; the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965, that dramatically opened entry to the U.S. to immigrants other than traditional European groups; and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, that banned discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. African Americans re-entered politics in the South, and across the country young people were inspired to action.
Desegregation busing in the United States (also known as forced busing or simply busing) is the practice of assigning and transporting students to schools in such a manner as to redress prior racial segregation of schools, or to overcome the effects of residential segregation on local school demographics.
John Paul Barnett, Cannon Maker and Concussionist, Part 5
Barney made cannons of all sizes that could be shot, for all kinds of customers. He also performed at over 100 concerts of The 1812 Overture as the guest concussionist, firing 16 cannons at the exact places called for in the score. This footage was salvaged from VCR footage that was over 30 years old, thus the poor quality, sorry, best copy available.

J. Paul Barnett
June 5, 1934 - Oct. 25, 2010
SOUTH BEND - J. Paul Barnett, 76, of South Bend, passed away at 2:58 a.m. Monday, October 25th, in Memorial Hospital after an extended illness. Mr. Barnett was born on June 5, 1934, in South Bend, and had resided in the area his lifetime. On September 4, 1976, in South Bend, he married Carol L. Best, who survives. Also surviving are two stepdaughters, Rebecca Ann Best of North Liberty and Patricia Lynne (Robert) DeMeyer of South Bend; four grandchildren, Rebecca S. Barnett of Elkhart, IN, Steven, Hannah and Kevin DeMeyer of South Bend; a sister, Lois Jean Hanna of Brooksville, Florida; two nieces, Roberta Van Sickle and Luanne Hanna. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, John A. and Edith Fern (McGuire) Barnett; and a son, John P. Barnett Jr., who passed away Dec. 3, 1991. Mr. Barnett was owner of South Bend Replicas, Inc., in South Bend prior to his death. Paul graduated from Central High School, Franklin College and Ball State University. In his younger years he was an Indiana State Trooper, U.S. Army veteran, a high school English teacher, a vocational musician in local venues, and other things that evolved into a career working in the field of antique artillery. As a manufacturer, his work was invited into many federal, state, local and private historical projects. The sailing ships Lady Washington, Kalmar Nyckel, Pride of Baltimore, and H.M.S. Rose have been among client ships. Historic forts and sites using antique replica artillery made by Paul for their living history programs include Fort Ticonderoga, Colonial Williamsburg, Sutter's Fort and Fort Ross in California, and Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Matanzas National Monuments at St. Augustine, and Mission San Luis at Tallahassee. Museum and Monument projects have included DuPont's Hagley Museum and West Point. Movies in which artillery by Barnett has appeared include the feature film Glory; Spielberg and Disney have been repeat clients. In 1967, symphony conductor Erich Kunzel approached Barnett about possibly producing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture live in accordance with the original 1880 score and plan, into which 16 muzzle-loading cannon shots had been specifically written to be fired with musical precision from an electric switch panel constructed for an 1881 event that failed to materialize. Also in 1967, Paul had undertaken research on Lyle guns, pieces of light artillery developed in 1978 for projecting lifelines to and from distressed ships. A sharing of efforts by Kunzel and Barnett led Barnett into a secondary career of performing with many orchestras and conductors doing historically valid 1812 performances in the United States and as far away as Lenigrad, Russia. In 1990, under invitation of the Russian government and within earshot of the composer's grave, Barnett was delighted to assist in bringing the Overture home in a worldwide celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Tchaikovsky's birth, in the city (now again St. Petersburg) of his youth. The annual Kunzel/Barnett collaboration continued until 2009. Other conductors who became variously involved across the years included Andrew Kostelanetz, Henry Mancini, Mstislav Rostropovich, Leonard Slatkin and others at places such as Wolf Trap, Ravinia, Saratoga, Bethel Woods, Mann, Blossom, Meadow Brook, and other performing art centers. Paul's published work includes a reference catalog on antique artillery, a book, The Lifesaving Guns of David Lyle, and various articles in professional and trade journals. Some of his memberships were in the U.S. Lifesaving Service Heritage Association, the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, the National Rifle Association, The American Federation of Musicians, and the Company of Military Historians. Also the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity. Visitation hours will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, October 28, in the Hanley & Sons Southwest Chapel Funeral Home, located at West Ireland Road/Indiana 23, South Bend. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 29, in the funeral home, with burial following at Sumption Prairie Cemetery, with military services.
87th Winter Meeting: Honoring Leadership in the Arts Breakfast
Creek Indian Removal from Alabama presented by Christopher Haveman
The Creek Nation was once one of the largest and most powerful Indian groups in the Southeast. At their peak, the Creeks controlled millions of acres of land in the present-day states of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Much of this land, however, was lost or stolen as the federal government sought land for white settlement after the American Revolution. By the mid-1830s, most Creeks were relocated west to Indian Territory. This month, Dr. Christoper Haveman discusses the emigration, relocation, and removal of over 23,000 Creek Indians from Alabama and Georgia between 1825 and 1836. His presentation will focus on diplomatic efforts to stave off removal, as well as the experiences of the Creek
people as they made the long and dangerous journey to present-day Oklahoma.
Dr. Christopher D. Haveman holds a Bachelor of Arts from Western Washington University, a Master of Arts from Marquette University, and a Master of Arts and PhD in History from Auburn University. He has focused extensively on the history of southeastern Native American tribes and is the author of Rivers of Sand: Creek Indian Emigration, Relocation, and Ethnic Cleansing in the American South (University of Nebraska Press, 2016) and Bending Their Way
Onward: The Creek Indians and the Long Journey West (University of Nebraska Press, 2017). Haveman is an Assistant Professor of History at The University of West Alabama.

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | West Bend (#506)
[Latest Airdate: October 25, 2018]
[Original Airdate: February 11, 2016]
Wow! West Bend totally surprised us. Yes, we know it's only an hour northwest of Milwaukee, but we didn't know that this city has it all - and then some.
West Bend is home to some true Wisconsin treasures. Where else are you going to find a fire fighting apparatus collection, a private zoo complete with celebrity bears named Lewis and Clark AND world class trombone musicians and craftsmen that will show you how they make trombones?
John made some treasured memories too as he made soap, pickled watermelon rinds (and ate them, too --- truly yummy!), nosed around a fantastic downtown residence that used to be a hardware store and took orders at the local custard and burger shop. The girls at A Conversation Piece really got him talking, and the gigantic painting at the spectacular Museum of Wisconsin Art left him speechless.
As John said, we're so glad that West Bend is close to Milwaukee because we love West Bend!

Where Alabama Began: Archaeology at Old St. Stephens presented by George Shorter
Thursday, December 21 at 12:00. George Shorter
presented Where Alabama Began: Archaeology at Old St. Stephens. From fort to trading post to territorial capital, St. Stephens is the birthplace of Alabama. However, the town’s story is
one that is unknown to most Alabamians. By 1818, St. Stephens boasted 400 buildings and a population of at least 3,000. The town was named the territorial capital of Alabama in 1817, and hosted the inaugural meeting of the territorial legislature in 1818. By the early 1820s, after the capital relocated, the town began to decline. It had virtually vanished by the beginning of the Civil War. This month, archaeologist George Shorter will shed light on St. Stephen’s story through exciting new archaeological discoveries.
George Shorter earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture and a Master of Arts degree in Anthropology both from Louisiana State University. He worked as a landscape architect for almost thirty years and then joined the University of South Alabama’s Center for Archaeological Studies where he supervised numerous archaeological projects including research at Fort Morgan, Dog River near Mobile, and the Creek Indian village
Fusihatchee near Montgomery. Shorter began research at the historic site of Old St. Stephens in Washington County in
1997. He continues his work today with the St. Stephens Historical Commission.
