The new line extends from downtown to Palm Center,* a former shopping center located at the intersection of Griggs Road and Martin Luther King Boulevard. Created to meet the needs of middle-class white suburbanites, Palm Center has adapted to the racial and economic transformations of the surrounding neighbor- hoods over a span of sixty years, and today it serves a very different purpose than it did in the past. Understanding the history of Palm Center is vital to understanding the struggle to combat community deterioration and the importance of revitalization in Southeast Houston. Houston expanded rapidly in the post-World War II economic boom. The Houston Ship Channel invited economic growth in the form of new refineries, petrochemical plants, and other industrial businesses. In 1949, the Houston area encompassed roughly 160 square miles; and from 1950 to 1960, Houston’s population grew from approximately 596,000 to just over 938,000.1 As more and more land was annexed to accommodate outward growth, many Houstonians moved into newly constructed neighborhoods outside of the city center. Following the influx of wealth along Brays Bayou, white middle-class neighborhoods developed in the areas south of Texas Southern University (TSU) and the University of Houston (UH) and several blocks past Griggs Road and 610 South Loop. Some of these neighborhoods, including MacGregor Terrace, * The name changed from Palms Center to Palm Center in 1993. This article uses the correct name for the time period discussed.

Constructed in 1927 and 1941 respectively, Esperson is the only iconic structure of Italian Renaissance in Houston’s most densified employment center. The property is currently 62% leased with 4 years remaining average lease term and is situated on 1.447 acres, a full city block. Located at the intersection of Rusk and Walker Street, Esperson has direct access to Houston’s METRO Rail and 7.5 mile underground tunnel system. Over the last 36 months, ownership invested nearly $9 million in non-leasing capital, positioning the asset at the top of its competitive set. Today, considerable value creation is achievable through rolling current in-place rents to market and through the lease up of the remaining 226,561 square feet of vacant space. Redeveloping and expanding Houston’s CBD infrastructure – realized through rebuilt streets – highways, new mass transit and enhanced public utilities coupled with new office, multi-family, and retail projects have transformed Houston’s core into a vibrant, modern 24/7 environment for people to live, work and play. Esperson offers investors prestige, history, quality, abundant amenities, and a prime location in Houston’s largest employment center. INVESTMENT SALES H.

Cs-^.S- Copyright Virginia Lee Spurlin, 1991 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is a dream turned into a reality because of the goodness and generosity of the people who aided me in its completion. I am especially grateful to the sister of Jeffie Conner, Vera Malone, and her daughter, Vivienne Mayes, for donating the Conner papers to Baylor University. Kent Keeth, Ellen Brown, William Ming, and Virginia Ming helped me immensely at the Texas Collection at Baylor. I appreciated the assistance given me by Jene Wright at the Waco Public Library. Rowena Keatts, the librarian at Paul Quinn College, deserves my plaudits for having the foresight to preserve copies of the Waco Messenger, a valuable took for historical research about blacks in Waco and McLennan County. The staff members of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Texas State Library in Austin along with those at the Prairie View A and M University Library gave me aid, information, and guidance for which I thank them. Kathy Haigood and Fran Thompson expended time in locating records of the McLennan County School District for me. I certainly appreciated their efforts. Much appreciation also goes to Robert H. demons, the county school superintendent.
