A stroll past the small wood frame homes off Jensen Drive and Liberty Road in Houston's Greater Fifth Ward neighborhood downtown hints at the struggles this close-knit community has faced over recent decades. Depending on where one stands, this community can highlight everything that is wrong with America: poverty, neglect, urban decay. It can also represent the qualities we hope shine out more brightly to the world; hope, equality and investment not in the past, but in the possibilities of the future. A quick peek around Clinton Street and these forces are at work as well. The site of a multi-million dollar new home for the Halliburton subsidiary KBR now stands where a collection of abandoned building once stood. Houston independent rap label Rap-A-Lot Records is also headquartered in the Fifth Ward of downtown Houston. Small clusters of brick homes identify a small middle class population. Many original, sub-standard housing units have been demolished over the past two decades atop a wave of commercial activity and new home construction now filling these empty lots. The Fifth Ward is an important historical and political district to both Houston and the state of Texas; The Fifth Ward is currently undergoing a dramatic re-vitalization project. A leader on this front the Fifth Ward Community Revitalization Corporation â a non-profit organization â is determined to spread its philosophy of "Invest â Build â Grow" in 5th Ward. Efforts are aimed at creating a positive image of the 5th Ward by attracting investment from homebuyers, homeowners, businesses, and government. Some highlights of the Fifth Ward CRC plans include: a Buffalo Soldiers National Museum featuring the accomplishments of African-American soldiers from the Revolutionary War to the present; The American Cowboy Museum focusing on African American cowboys and cowgirls; and the Magic Johnson Theatre built by former basketball great Magic Johnson; This state of the art multiplex features12 screens with 3,500 capacity seating and new stadium-style seating for unobstructed viewing. The theatre will anchor the new Northline Mall.
