James Glassman founded the history advocacy group Houstorian in 2006 as a response to the perceived public indifference to preserving Houston history, especially among younger Houstonians and newly-arrived Houstonians. Houstorian seeks to deepen and enrich both local’s and visitor’s understanding of this history-rich community. Houstorian is active, loud, and always looking for new ways to put Houston’s history in everyone’s heads and hearts. Glassman is the author of “The Houstorian Dictionary” and “The Houstorian Calendar.”
