HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- From Fifth Ward to Acres Homes, a new community quilt is preserving the stories of Houston's historic Black neighborhoods.

The Black Neighborhood Quilt, an 80-square-foot collaborative artwork, was created over the course of about a year by 20 to 30 residents from across Houston's Black communities.

Each participant designed a panel or patches that paid tribute to the neighborhoods, memories, families, landmarks, and traditions that shaped generations of Houstonians.
