Former Houston City Council Member Ada Edwards never forgot where she came from or who she represented. During her time as the District D Council Member, she worked to find solutions without compromising her beliefs and was steadfast in fighting to improve the lives of all Houstonians.
She advocated for affordable housing, social justice and community empowerment. She cared deeply about people living in historically under resourced and underserved communities.
Even after she left elected office because of term limits, Edwards remained active and dedicated her time to connecting people to education and employment opportunities, mentoring youth and working with nonprofit organizations.
Houston is a stronger city today because of Ada Edwards’ tireless advocacy and dedication to public service throughout the years.
May Ada Edwards Rest In Power.

Mayor Turner interviews with CNN on the TEA Takeover of the Houston Independent School District
This morning, I appeared on CNN to discuss the state’s takeover of Houston ISD.
This process has been without community engagement or any transparency. It is disheartening that the Texas Education Agency has yet to speak directly to parents or school children. This announcement is happening during their spring break, creating a great deal of disruption, anxiety, and stress.
This does not make good sense. And if the focus is on the kids, then you tell me how this benefits the kids. TEA is selecting the board of managers. So who are they? The state deserves an F on how they have handled the process up to this point. Just a flat-out F.
Under the current superintendent and school board, significant progress has been made in HISD. Forty of 50 former D or F-rated schools are in a much better s...

El Dia de Los Muertos
El Dia de Los Muertos goes back to the Aztecs, who had not just a few days but an entire month dedicated to the dead. The annual ancient holiday celebrates life in its embrace of death.
Riverside General Hospital is a reminder of our city’s rich, but complex history. Today, we gather for the symbolic action of installing a sign for the hospital a head of construction and renovation, but this moment ensures that Riverside Hospital is going to be preserved and provides a pathway to create community-based services. From the time it opened its doors as the “Houston Negro Hospital” in the 1920s to serve Black patients and their families, this location has aways been sacred ground with a story worth telling and history worthy of preserving.
