Racist Texas place names poised for historical reckoning

Negrohead Lake near Houston may finally see its name officially changed amid America s racism reckoning
Houston (AFP) - Racist and offensive Texas place names are holdovers from a dark past, but they are poised to finally change as a reckoning on how white America treats Black people washes over the United States.
Though state lawmakers sought to officially rename a series of features in 1991, that change was stymied, and decades later places like Negrohead Lake or Negro Creek still carry their derogatory monikers.
Yet the murder last year of African American George Floyd under a white police officer s knee has brought new impetus to confronting racism, including place names or statues honoring Confederate war generals. ....

Official: Disaster aid widens racial inequities


Federal disaster relief funding that prioritizes property value over need exacerbates existing racial inequalities, leaving poor neighborhoods and communities of color more vulnerable to extreme weather events, a Houston area official told lawmakers.
Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis said Tuesday that equity principles implemented to guide the county’s response following Hurricane Harvey in 2017 made it harder to secure federal dollars for the recovery.
“The poorest neighborhoods in Harris County are the hardest hit during storms, floods and other natural disasters, but they received the least amount of resources to recover, rebuild and build resiliency against the next load,” Ellis told lawmakers. Poor and minority families are more likely to live in neighborhoods vulnerable to climate-related disasters because of redlining, he said. ....
