Acres Homes, a historic Black neighborhood in Houston, Texas, stands as a testament to resilience and community spirit. Founded in the early 1900s, it was established to provide African American families with affordable land and homeownership opportunities during a time when segregation severely limited their options.

This initiative was more than just a housing project; it was a movement aimed at empowering Black families with property ownership and self-sufficiency. Acres Homes quickly became a vibrant community, known for its rich culture and strong communal ties. The neighborhood thrived with numerous Black-owned businesses, churches, and cultural events that celebrated African American heritage. During the mid-20th century, it was a bustling epicenter of Black commerce and social life. Local businesses flourished, creating a robust local economy that supported the community's needs.
