HoustonPBS Did you know Galveston was once a major hub for immigration? Tonight at 9pm, the HoustonPBS production, "Galveston: Gateway on the Gulf", explores Galveston’s role as a port of entry for successive waves of immigrants during the 19th and early 20th centuries. I hope you’ll tune in to learn more about this fascinating chapter in local history.

Mary Wolter Makowski Watched Globe Trekkers WWII and now watching Slave Trade. Great episodes! Seeing such young people narrarating these horrific events, history so close, is a little strange, but so right. Thank you PBS and Channel 323 Houston.

Amanda Richards Benson Can't thank you enough for the Mariza tickets!! Amazing performance! She had an incredible way of connecting with the audience. Her voice is
beautiful and the musicians with her so talented. The simplicity
of the stage setting with the complexities of the music just really did
something to me! I'm not a big drums fan, but even the drummer had me gasping!
