Summary

Significance: In 1870, five short years after emancipation, Reverend John Henry "Jack" Yates, a freed slave, began construction of his home. The Jack Yates House reflects the opportunity for growth and prosperity which existed for the black population in Houston. Reverend Yates was one of the most prominent religious leaders in Houston and a true advocate of education for his race in the post-Civil War period.

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. This maze of rolling cranes, at a large Eastern shipyard is a typical scene in many large shipyards at work on ships for Uncle Sam's Navy and merchant fleet. Stocks of material are piled up for the cranes to take to vessels under construction so there is no delay in production while waiting for sections or materials. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars.
