One of the most historically significant institutions in Houston’s Fifth Ward is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a community jubilee festival on Saturday, March 23rd. Since the 1940s, Julia C. Hester House has been a relevant fixture in the community by enhancing the quality of lives in Fifth Ward and the surrounding community through programs and services promoting self-empowerment. In honor of the milestone anniversary, Discovery Green has partnered with Hester House to offer a performance by the world-renowned Cirque Zuma Zuma, which will be free to the community. Led by Commissioner Rodney Ellis, Harris County Precinct One, which partners with Hester House to provide youth, adult, and senior programming and social services that include life skills, financial literacy, and employment and educational assistance, is also sponsoring the jubilee.
