Black History Month

You know one of the greatest things about experiencing Houston as a destination? The sheer amount of cultural diversity around every corner.

This February, we celebrate the contributions and history of this city's African American community. From the West Indies to East Africa, we're able to see, taste, and explore the many facets of the various cultures and how Houston has helped them not only survive, but thrive.

There is no shortage of new dishes to try, people to meet, and places to see. Take a look at our guides below to get started.
