Hicks Family Collection:An Inventory of Records at the Houston Metropolitan Research Center, Houston Public Library
Historical NoteMrs. Maggie Hicks moved to Houston with her family during the opening years of the 20th century, when she was a young girl. Like other black residents, she had to leave the city to obtain college training. She went to Atlanta, Georgia, still a center for Negro education in the United States, where she graduated from Spelman College. After her return to Houston, Mrs. Hicks taught in the public schools for over 30 years and also earned a graduate degree from the University of Houston in 1946. For most of that time she was the wife of Charles William Hicks, Jr., an employee of one of the city's most exclusive black establishments, the Houston Club. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and ContentsThis collection partially documents Mrs. Hicks' life as a resident of Houston's 4th Ward and a working female professional in the city during the first half of the twentieth century. It illustrates her experiences, as well as those of her family, at educational instutitions such as Spelman in Georgia and the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama which, then as now, educated many of the nation's black elite. Over 200 photographs in this collection offer those interested in African American history a good pictorial review of four generations of a black Houston family from the 1890's to the 1960's.
