Our Speaker Series has returned! Come have lunch with us in-person or participate via Zoom! Our Speaker Series invites HOUnique subject matter experts on Houston and Texas history. Meet like-minded Houstonians at these events, bring your work colleagues, and invite your friends. Proceeds from the event go to preserving Houston history.

Join historian Cheryle Cavitt for stories about Houston’s Black-owned businesses located at the sophisticated Pilgrim Temple. This is a unique Black History lecture, because Cheryle and her mother were responsible for attaining the historical marker The Ancient Order of Pilgrims in Sam Houston Park. Cheryle has a mini-museum from the Pilgrim Temple’s days of glory and we are looking forward to seeing what she brings to the Tea Room.

A Zoom meeting link will be shared with those who register.

If joining us in person, we will send you instructions with a lunch menu or you may click here to see the lunch menu to place an order. We will pick up your lunch at Rosalie located at the C. Baldwin Hotel (named after Charlotte Baldwin, “the mother of Houston”). You may also bring your own lunch. Drinks are available for sale in our gift shop.
