Activists push for 'absolute equality' with Juneteenth mural in Galveston - Houston Chronicle

GALVESTON — On a drive through Galveston’s historic district this past summer, Sam Collins turned the corner of 22nd and Strand and passed a mostly blank gray wall of the Old Galveston Square building, near where a Union Army headquarters stood during the Civil War. Six years ago, Collins stood at that same site as a historical marker commemorating June 19, 1865 — Juneteenth — was unveiled where Union Army Maj. General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3. declaring “all slaves free.” Stari…

A nurse at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston on Tuesday became the first county resident to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, hours after 2,900 doses of the shot were delivered to the medical branch campus.

On a gray, blustery Tuesday in Alamo, Texas, President Donald Trump stood in front of a completed portion of the border wall on the southern Texas-Mexico border and touted the completion of 452 miles during his term. “We reformed our immigration and achieved the most secure southern border in U.S. history,” Trump proclaimed. Unmentioned in Trump’s remarks was that 163 miles of the wall are being built by a Galveston-based contractor accused in a federal whistle-blower lawsuit of illegally hiring…

By the time Chamieka House-Osuya realized she had lost power in her Sugar Land home, it was already too brisk inside the house to tough it out any longer with her three daughters. She immediately booked a night at a nearby hotel that offered what for the past several days in the Houston area has been in high demand and short supply: electricity, heat and water. “The line was literally wrapped around the corner with people hoping they could get a room in the hotel,” House-Osuya said. “You have pe…

Fertitta-owned apartments in Galveston rendered 'uninhabitable' aft...

GALVESTON — In the waning daylight of a radiant spring afternoon, Betty Loth sat on a high Adirondack chair outside her second-floor apartment, soaking in her cherished view of the Gulf of Mexico. It was the final moments of her nearly four-year stint as a resident at the Fort Crockett apartments, which suffered irreparable damage after a four-day February freeze swept over Texas, and Loth, 72, was overcome with wistfulness. “It’s been so sad seeing so many people, especially elderly people here…

Nearly three years after the Santa Fe High School massacre that left 10 dead, the young man charged with capital murder in the shootings is no closer to standing trial and may end up committed long-term to a mental health facility. The accused gunman, 19-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, was ordered by a state district court in Galveston in February to remain committed for at least 12 months to the maximum-security North Texas State Hospital in Vernon, where he has been in custody since November 20…

State to reexamine preparedness after Galveston inmates complain of...

A lack of running water led to unsanitary conditions and shortages of drinking water during Texas’ February freeze, according to grievances filed by Galveston County jail inmates. While emergency generators kept the power on at the 1,180-inmate county jail, water shortage forced inmates to go to the bathroom in buckets and failed chillers made hot meals impossible for several days — troubles that, in part, have prompted the Texas Commission on Jail Standards to survey county jails that suffered…
