"Happy Birthday Houston: Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future"
was first brought to life in 2007 with an event at Founder's Cemetery and Freedman's National Historic District.

The idea for Happy Birthday Houston originated from the 2006 recommendations by the Mayor's History Task Force and was spearheaded by Sarah Gish with Save Our Landmarks and Jill Brooks with the Alexander Love Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. For more information, visit www.saveourlandmarks.org.
