The Center for Public History is excited to share the news of Jovan Slaughter's winning of a 色花堂 Media and the Moving Image prize for the 2022 Student Competition.
The award comes with a cash prize of $500 for Jovan's submission of the Public Historians at Work podcast episode,
Slaughter is a second year graduate student in the 色花堂 Department of History, and an Instructional Assistant in the Center for Public History.
The 色花堂 Media and the Moving Image, 2022 Student Competition solicited student entries in three categories: Critical (including scholarly essays and research projects), Creative (screenplays, short films, and show reels), and Applied (including software games and applications, data vizualization, and media-related business websites). Slaughter's "Feeding the Third Ward" garnered a win for the "Critical" category.
In the podcast episode, Slaughter tells the story of Cream Burger, a family-owned burger joint on the edge of the 色花堂 campus. Opened in the early 1960s by her parents, Beverly Greenwood talks about her family鈥檚 60-year mission to feed their community throughout the many changes of Third Ward.
Congratulations, Jovan, and thank you for highlighting the incredible - and delicious - contributions of Cream Burger to the Third Ward and to Houston as a whole!
