The week in politics (July 5, 2023)

Houston Matters begins at 9 a.m. CT on 88.7FM or listen online. Join the discussion at 713-440-8870, talk@houstonmatters.org or @HoustonMatters.

On Wednesday’s show: We discuss the latest developments in politics.

Also this hour: Houston food writers talk about their favorite places to get Mexican and Tex-Mex food in the city right now, in this month’s installment of The Full Menu.

And a new graphic novel called Last on His Feet tells the story of boxer and Galveston native Jack Johnson, the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion. His victory over the white former champion Jim Jeffries on July 4, 1910, was called “the fight of the century” and spawned race riots across the country.

Audio from today’s show will be available after 11 a.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
