Hester House

.@HesterHouse1943 is the beating heart of the historic Fifth Ward, and it deserves an exterior as beautiful as the people who make it a reality. That's why I reached out to internationally acclaimed artist Jimoh Buraimoh to create this mosaic he calls "The Gate of Hope."

Special thanks to Commissioner @RodneyEllis and @BushHoustonLit for successful efforts to get free books in the hands of young readers. Here at Julia C. Hester House, we are fortunate to offer 1 of the 14 NEW little free library boxes in the community. TAKE A BOOK. SHARE A BOOK.

It was great to be at @HesterHouse1943 to cut the ribbon today on 14 NEW little free library boxes. Thanks to the @BushHoustonLit and the Barbara Bush Foundation Young Professionals Group for your continued partnership and efforts to get books in the hands of young readers.
