24TH INFANTRY REGIMENT  -1917 Houston Texas

Fed up with violent discrimination, these black soldiers took to the streets of Houston for bloody revenge

When it was over, 19 black soldiers were hanged in one of the largest court-martials in U.S. history

EXCERPT LISTED BELOW

IT was raining on the night of August 23, 1917, when a group of black soldiers took to the streets in Houston. They were there to protest their inhumane treatment and to avenge the death of a fellow soldier.

 By the end of the night, 20 people would be dead, resulting in one of the largest court-martials in American military history and, ultimately, the death by hanging of 19 black soldiers.

Camp Logan housed one particularly noteworthy group: the all-black Third Battalion of the 24th infantry. They were the successors of the famed Buffalo Soldiers, African American regiments who fought courageously on the western frontier. City officials assured the military that the black soldiers wouldn’t pose any problems.  When the Third Battalion arrived, they found that city officials’ promises had been empty.

Racial tensions were already high in Texas, and indeed across the country, even before the arrival of the Third Battalion. Texas was a forcefully segregated state with a reputation for racist violence. Lynchings had occurred all over the state, in cities such as Temple, Waco, and Galveston. 

Black Americans were also still reeling from the recent, widely reported riots in East St. Louis, Illinois, by white mobs that left dozens of African Americans dead and communities decimated.

As historian Robert V. Haynes describes in The Houston Mutiny and Riot of 1917, white Houstonians wanted to keep black soldiers in check, so that black civilians wouldn’t also demand equal treatment.

While in the city, soldiers endured racial slurs and discrimination from residents and police officers. The mere presence of the black men in uniform threatened to undo the social hierarchy, and white residents clung to the old order.

Haynes recounts incidents in which police officers pistol-whipped and arrested black soldiers who tried to intervene when black civilians were harassed by white residents for sitting in “white only” sections on the streetcars or drinking from “white only” fountains.

 The black soldiers resented being called “niggers” and insisted that they should be referred to as “colored men.” The riot began when two mounted white police officers, Rufus Daniels and Lee Sparks, assaulted Private Alonzo Edwards for interfering in the arrest of a black woman.

Later, when Corporal Charles Baltimore, a black man in the battalion, tried to inquire about the arrest, it irritated the officers. Sparks struck him with a pistol and shot at him three times. Baltimore fled, but police pursued him until he was cornered in an unoccupied house. He was arrested, but by the time news reached the camp, Baltimore’s fellow black soldiers assumed he was dead.

At least 100 men from different companies marched into the city around 9 p.m. They went to the San Felipe district, a historic black community, in search of Lee Sparks and Rufus Daniels, the two officers involved in the Baltimore arrest.

They found Daniels, whom they killed, along with three other officers. As they moved through the city, they encountered civilians and shot them at random. All in all, 20 people were killed that night. The other men either returned to the camp or hid in black residents’ homes, where they were captured the following day.

As the disarmed black soldiers boarded a train out of Houston a few days later, they left behind a piece of paper that read: “Take Texas and go to hell. I don’t want to go there anymore in my life. Let’s go East and be treated as people.”

Thirteen black soldiers were hung at Camp Travis, by September 1918, following two additional court-martial cases, 53 soldiers were given life sentences and six more soldiers were hung at Camp Travis.

Navigating the Waves: Unveiling the Latest Trends in Galveston Real Estate News

As summer fades and the crisp air of fall sets in, the real estate market in Galveston, TX, continues to ripple with dynamic changes. For those keeping a close eye on Galveston real estate news, the current landscape offers a blend of opportunities and challenges that are shaping the future of property investments and homeownership in this iconic coastal city.

Current Market Snapshot

The Galveston real estate market is currently experiencing a period of significant transition. Home prices have shown a steady increase over the past year, reflecting both heightened demand and limited inventory. According to recent data, the median home price in Galveston has risen by approximately 8% over the last 12 months. This trend mirrors broader national patterns but is notably accentuated in this picturesque coastal region.

One of the key factors driving this increase is the ongoing influx of buyers seeking a blend of charm, coastal living, and economic opportunity. Galveston's unique appeal—ranging from its historic architecture and vibrant culture to its beautiful beaches and recreational activities—continues to attract individuals and families from across the state and beyond.

Impact of Seasonal Trends

Seasonality plays a crucial role in Galveston real estate dynamics. Traditionally, the spring and summer months witness heightened activity, with families and vacationers keen to capitalize on the warm weather and school holidays. However, the fall and winter seasons also present unique opportunities for both buyers and sellers. The reduced competition during these months can be advantageous for those looking to secure a property at a more favorable price point.

Real estate professionals in Galveston are noting a shift in buyer behavior. There is a growing preference for properties that offer year-round usability, such as homes with enhanced climate control and energy-efficient features. This shift reflects a broader trend toward long-term sustainability and resilience, which is becoming increasingly important to prospective homeowners.

Emerging Neighborhood Hotspots

In recent months, certain neighborhoods in Galveston have emerged as particularly desirable locations. Areas such as East End Historic District and Midtown Galveston are seeing increased interest due to their blend of historic charm and modern amenities. These neighborhoods are known for their distinctive architectural styles, community-oriented atmosphere, and proximity to local attractions.

The East End Historic District, in particular, is gaining traction among buyers who appreciate its well-preserved historical homes and vibrant community life. Meanwhile, Midtown Galveston is attracting younger professionals and families due to its modern conveniences and proximity to downtown and other key areas.

The Role of Vacation Rentals

Vacation rentals continue to be a significant factor in Galveston's real estate market. The city's popularity as a tourist destination means that short-term rental properties are in high demand. This trend has spurred interest from investors looking to capitalize on the lucrative vacation rental market.

The rise in vacation rentals has also prompted local authorities to implement regulations aimed at balancing the interests of property owners with the need to maintain community integrity. These regulations often address issues such as rental frequency, noise control, and property maintenance, ensuring that the benefits of vacation rentals are maximized while minimizing potential disruptions to local residents.

New Developments and Future Prospects

Galveston is not just about historic homes and charming neighborhoods; it's also a city in flux with new developments shaping its future. Several projects are underway, ranging from upscale residential communities to mixed-use developments that blend living spaces with commercial and recreational facilities.

One notable project is the ongoing development of the West End, which promises to introduce a range of new housing options, including luxury condos and family-friendly homes. This area is also expected to feature enhanced amenities such as parks, shopping centers, and entertainment venues, further boosting its appeal to potential buyers.

Additionally, the city is exploring innovative approaches to urban planning and sustainability. Efforts to incorporate green building practices and improve infrastructure are part of a broader initiative to enhance the quality of life for residents while promoting environmental stewardship.

Tips for Buyers and Sellers

For those navigating the Galveston real estate market, whether as buyers or sellers, there are several key considerations to keep in mind:

Market Research: Stay informed about current trends and market conditions. Regularly reviewing Galveston real estate news can provide valuable insights and help you make informed decisions.

Local Expertise: Working with a local real estate agent who is familiar with Galveston's neighborhoods and market dynamics can be a significant advantage. Their expertise can help you find the right property or secure the best price for your home.

Long-Term Perspective: Consider the long-term potential of the property. Whether you're buying a home for personal use or as an investment, evaluate factors such as future development plans, neighborhood growth, and overall market stability.

Regulatory Awareness: Be aware of local regulations and zoning laws, especially if you're interested in purchasing a property for use as a vacation rental. Understanding these rules can help you avoid potential complications and ensure compliance.

Conclusion

As Galveston continues to evolve, the real estate market remains a vibrant and exciting field. From rising home prices and emerging neighborhood trends to the impact of vacation rentals and new developments, there is much to explore and understand in the realm of Galveston real estate news.

Whether you're a prospective buyer, a current homeowner, or an investor, staying informed about the latest trends and developments can help you navigate the Galveston real estate landscape effectively. As the city moves forward, its unique blend of historic charm and modern innovation promises to make its real estate market a compelling space to watch in the coming months and years.

If You Travel To Galveston Here Are Some Historical Landmarks You Must See...

Every time I travel to Galveston I come across more and more unique historical landmarks that I had not found before. Here are some of my favorite historical landmarks from my latest travels to Galveston.

PIRATE JEAN LAFFITE’S HOME

On the east end of Harborside Drive in between a metal warehouse and what looks to be a residential home you will find the concrete remnants of a home behind a chain link fence. This is the spot of the pirate Jean Laffite’s home from 1817 - 1820. The present structure was built in 1870 but at the bottom you can see the original red foundation bricks from Lafitte’s house.

MOODY MANSION

This thirty-one room house was built in 1895. This mansion has many technological advances for the period it was built including a one person elevator.

THE HISTORIC STRAND

The Strand is a street and an historic district in Galveston. It’s Victorian-era buildings are lined with shops and restaurants. Located at one end is the Galveston train museum. It is also next to the port where all the cruise ships are docked.

THE ASHTON VILLA HOUSE

One of the fully restored Victorian style homes on Broadway street. It is thought to be one of the locations that “General Order No.3” was read that enforced the emancipation of slaves in Galveston on Jun 19th, 1865. We know the date now as Juneteenth.

I have seen a couple of the concrete structures around Galveston and always wondered what they were. They are a group of watering stations funded by Henry Rosenberg after his death in 1893.

Why I Moved Back to Vegas after Six Months in Austin

Las Vegas gets a bad rap. Known nearly exclusively for casinos and big celebrity performances on the strip (along with other stripping activities), it’s easy to assume that outside the strip, nothing is happening in Vegas. But the truth is, there’s a world of hidden gems in Vegas, which I personally discovered when I decided to move there from the east coast nearly a decade ago.

After seven years in Vegas, I decided to give Austin a try. Since I’d had an office for Grasshopper there for a few years, I was well aware of the many reasons it’s an awesome place to live – live music all the time, professional opportunity, a lake smack in the middle of town, a booming economy, great schools for the kids, and a general vibe of awesomeness. I just had to check it out.

But what I found out over the subsequent six months was that I’d been under appreciating Las Vegas. Austin’s great, but there’s a definite disparity between the hype and the reality. And honestly, Las Vegas has the opposite problem. I feel like it’s incredibly under-hyped. Six months into my Texas adventure, I picked up my family and moved back to Vegas, and I have zero regrets about it. Here’s why.

Cost of Living

Austin is the second most expensive city in Texas (second only to Galveston, a popular vacation spot filled with lux beachfront property). Outsized housing cost, whether you’re renting or buying, is a big reason for the price tag. Due to strict zoning restrictions and a fast-growing population, there’s not enough housing to go around, resulting in higher median home prices than the other metro areas of Texas. In Austin, the median home price is $360k, but in the nicer areas on the outskirts (West Lake, Lakeway) or the more historical neighborhoods in the interior of the city (Hyde Park, South Congress), the range gets much higher – $800k and up into the multiple millions. 

Compare these numbers to Vegas, where the average home costs $280k, and you can get a beautiful four bedroom spot in some of the best neighborhoods in town for under $400k. A pretty stark comparison to Austin, especially if you have a couple of kids and need a little more space. 

Housing is only one factor in cost of living. Other factors are food costs (groceries and dining out), healthcare, household services, and transportation. According to data from BestPlaces, both Vegas and Austin rank lower than the national average for grocery prices and notably higher than average for transportation. When it comes to healthcare, Austin ranks significantly higher than the national average, while Vegas is lower. Styles of state governance might have something to do with that discrepancy. I also found many household services in Austin were more expensive, from landscaping to cleaning.

Quality of Life

Cost of living surely has a direct impact on quality of life – if you can stretch your dollar further, chances are you will end up with a few more creature comforts. For me, that’s super important, but the environment I’m in has a huge impact on my quality of life too. So does how easily I can get from place to place. Fun things for my kids to do, traffic, proximity to great food and night life, and just general life amenities are all big quality of life factors for me as well. And honestly, Vegas checks pretty much every box better than Austin does.

The Great Outdoors

Austin is known for its beautiful natural places. Barton Springs and Town Lake run right through the center of the city, and a short drive takes you to beautiful hill country destinations, including state parks with larger bodies of water and endless hiking and biking. There’s also a rapidly expanding wine country just outside the city limits and into the hill country.

But truthfully, it’s so hot and humid in Austin and the surrounding areas that it can be demotivating to get outside and enjoy it. Furthermore, for the first time in my life, I developed allergies living in Austin. My kids didn’t fare so well either, which made hanging out in the great outdoors a bit of a disaster. Las Vegas has a much drier desert climate and a lot fewer allergens floating through the air. Plus, there are real mountains. Texas Hill Country is gorgeous, but it doesn’t really compare to the mountains of the Mojave Desert or the sandstone towers in Red Rock Canyon.

If you’ve only ever visited Vegas to hit the casinos or see a show on the strip, you might not realize the plethora of outdoor opportunities at your fingertips. Red Rock Canyon, a National Conservation Area, will give you some of the most amazing views you’ve ever seen. You’ll hike among glorious red sand stone rock formations, possibly run into some desert wildlife, and can even camp in certain areas. If you’re a rock climber – especially a sport climber – and haven’t visited Red Rock, be sure to add it to your bucket list.

Lake Mead is another major outdoors destination in Las Vegas. It’s a National Recreation Area perfect for boating, hiking, biking, fishing, and camping. Take a boat into crystal clear water and make your way through the gorgeous rock formations that line the lake. And if you’re not much of a camper, there are lodging options that still give you direct access the natural wonder of the area. The nearest city, Boulder City, is the home of the Hoover Damn and offers a ton of hiking and biking trails, in addition to two beautiful municipal golf courses.

Other great outdoor destinations include Mt. Charleston Regional Recreation Area (Mojave Desert mountains) and Havasau Falls and Creek (a tributary of the Grand Canyon!). The City of Henderson is just over fifteen miles from Vegas and jam-packed with parks and trails for hiking and sight seeing. It offers sixty-five well-maintained parks featuring open grass lands, playgrounds, skate parks, dog parks, lighted sporting areas, and more. 

Traffic and Travel

If you’ve ever lived in or visited Austin, feel free to skip this section. You already know that very few cities rival the hectic gridlock of Austin’s rush hour. The problem is that Austin was never meant to be a big city of almost a million people. It has the infrastructure of a college town and has exploded into a major destination without the ability to expand one of its major thoroughfares, interstate 35. And that’s without the visitors for Austin City Limits or South by Southwest flooding the streets. Bring all those people in and you’re not going anywhere unless you leave after 10am, before 4pm, or well after 6pm. 

Las Vegas is just the opposite. It’s a city built for massive tourism but maintains a relatively low local population (roughly 620k). When combined with neighboring Henderson, it ends up being roughly 1M. Most tourists don’t venture too far off the strip, so day to day life in Vegas is pretty traffic-free. Furthermore, because so many people fly in and out, McCarran International is a major airport that flies direct almost anywhere. Compare that to Austin-Bergstrom, a relatively tiny spot that usually sends connections through Houston, Dallas or San Antonio. Two wins for Vegas in the way of traffic and travel.

For the Kids

Admittedly, there’s a major problem with public schools in Las Vegas, and Nevada in general. For the most part, Austin has an awesome reputation for both public and private school education, due, at least partially, to a higher real estate tax. The state of Nevada is ranked 50th out of 52 states in education – not good. It was a big reason I moved to Austin in the first place. There’s just less money for public schools in Nevada than in many other states because it has both a low property tax (.77%) and no state income tax to go towards education. While Texas also has no income tax, property tax is more than double Nevada’s (1.86%).

The reality of poor public schools was a major setback for me until I discovered the private and montessori options. You have to do a little digging, but if you’re willing to do the work, you’ll find that in the end, your kids have great academic opportunities in Vegas, and they’re all pretty easy to get to, regardless of where in the city you live.  

For fun with kids though, Vegas wins again and again. I mentioned the overwhelming natural beauty of the surrounding areas, but there’s a lot to do right in the heart of the city as well. The strip might not be the first place you’d think to bring your kids, but there’s the Adventuredome Theme Park, the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, and the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N all right there, just to name a few. Not to mention, with the sheer volume of national music and performance acts coming through Las Vegas, chances are, a performer your kids like will be visiting at some point. 

Off the strip, there’s endless fun for the kids as well. Here’s a quick list as a point of reference:

Cowabunga Bay Water Park

Discovery Museum

Smith Center (performing arts)

Trampoline parks

Ziplining downtown and Boulder City

Springs Preserve

Downtown Container Park (great food and company)

Pinball Hall of Fame

Ethel M Chocolate Factory

West Wind Drive in Movie Theater

Mountain’s Edge Exploration Park

Lion Habitat Ranch

First Friday in the Arts District

Food and Entertainment

Although Austin isn’t known for it’s food scene, that’s slowly changed in recent years. New creatives are coming in to spice up what has historically been a somewhat “meh” dining culture. Cool, creative fusion restaurants like Loro and Elizabeth Street Cafe are popping up all over the city and gradually elevating the food scene, which I definitely appreciate. That being said though, the draw just isn’t there compared to the caliber of cuisine in Vegas.

Owing to the fact that Vegas is an international tourist destination, you’ll find world class food of nearly every stripe in this city. Celebrity chefs the likes of Gordon Ramsey, Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay, Tom Colicchio, and Giada de Laurentiis all boast top quality restaurants in the most popular part of the city, but there’s phenomenal local talent off the strip as well. 

Just to name a few, for local Thai food, Lotus of Siam was voted best in the country. Le Pho, a traditional Vietnamese spot offers the perfect bowl of pho and a DIY spring roll plate – fun to eat and delicious. Honey Salt, started by local restauranteur Elizabeth Blau, offers amazing farm to table cuisine, made with seasonal ingredients. And for a classic Italian meal, head over to Ferraro’s for a bowl of pasta or a generous osso buco.

Comparing Austin and Las Vegas isn’t exactly an apples to apples thing when it comes to music and entertainment either. Both cities have their merits. Whereas in Austin, you’re more likely to be serenaded by a local band or songwriter while you’re eating dinner on a regular basis, major acts usually only end up coming through for the major festivals a few times a year. It’s known as the live music capital of the world, but national acts don’t come through as often as they do Vegas. Home to upwards of twenty five music venues alone, Las Vegas hosts all manner of national music acts, performing artists and ensembles, and comedians. Just about anything you’d want to see live, you can find in Vegas on any given night of the week.

If you’re a sports fan, you’ll have to root for another city’s pro team as an Austinite, but Vegas has an NHL team (Golden Knights), and the Oakland Raiders are moving to Vegas for the 2020 season.

Proximity to Fun

As if everything I have already mentioned isn’t enough, Las Vegas is a short drive away from other major attractions in California, Arizona, and Utah. It’s kind of an amazing jumping off point. I love getting to enjoy all that Southern California has to offer without having to actually live in CA and endure the high cost of living there. Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Anaheim (home of Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Six Flags) are all a few short hours away, so we can pick up and head to the beach or a theme park for a weekend if we want. Go East instead, and visit Sedona, AZ or Brian Head, UT for a weekend of natural beauty and camping. We often drive to our house on the Colorado River in Arizona, an under 2 hour drive.

A Properly Hyped Vegas

When I was planning to move to Austin, so many people were excited to see me off. Austin has a great reputation all over the country for being a cool place to live. It’s progressive beacon in a sea of Texas red. It boasts an ever-growing tech scene and an amazing community of entrepreneurs. Monacres like “the live music capital of the world” and sayings like “Keep Austin Weird” make it famous. When you say you live in Austin, people pay attention and assume you have it made. 

Not so with Las Vegas. Sometimes when I say I live in Vegas, I hear, “Oh, people live in Vegas?” Now you know the answer is a decided yes. People live in Vegas and actually really love living here because there’s tons to do. You get all the amenities of a big city and none of the setbacks. Little to no traffic, a major airport, phenomenal food, breath-taking natural beauty, entertainment, and lots of fun for the kids all make me proud to call Vegas home after my little soiree in Texas. 

[aman-acan-andacityplan]

For the long 4th of July weekend, I was looking for some place to go and take in a few sights. After some thinking, I settled on Galveston, Texas, the last southern port city I had not been too. Like other port cities of region, such as New Orleans and Savannah, Galveston is home to many beautiful mansions and commercial storefronts. At its founding, Galveston was the only city in Texas to possess a deepwater port, so the city quickly established itself as a center of commerce. In 1880 the town was home to just over 22,000 people and, according to per-capita income, it was the second richest urban area in the nation. 

Unfortunately though Galveston’s island location made it highly vulnerable to hurricanes and in 1900 the town was struck by a powerful hurricane. The disaster claimed between 6,000 and 8,000 lives and was a huge economic setback. In response the city built a massive seawall and raised the city’s elevation by several feet. This civil engineering feat is impressive even by modern standards and is a testament to the resilience of the city’s citizenry.        

The disaster though would spell the end of the city’s commercial prominence as Houston took over as the primary port of call for the region’s shipping interests. Today, the city has reinvented as a beach town, with numerous hotels and an amusement park hugging the seawall. Evidence of the city’s early boomtown days may be found along the appropriately named Strand. This downtown street contains a large number of Victorian storefronts, many of which exhibit a high degree of craftsmanship and a charm that distinguishes Galveston from other southern port cities of comparable history and stature. Further east, towards the seawall, beach businesses and hotels evoke a kind of boardwalk feel, offering an interesting contrast to the more solid and formal structures of the downtown historic district. Needless to say, my first visit to the city was a positive one. I look forward to seeing this city once again and seeing more of what it has to offer.
