The HCPA honors the memory of the late Congressman Sylvester Turner 🕊️
Sylvester Turner (September 27, 1954 – March 5, 2025) was an American attorney and politician who served as the U.S. Representative for Texas’ 18th Congressional District from January 2025 until his death in March 2025.
Born and raised in Houston, Congressman Turner graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctor. He was a member of the Democratic Party, served in the Texas House of Representatives from 1989 to 2016 and also served as the 62nd Mayor of Houston from 2016 to 2024.
We are grateful for Congressman Turner’s service and dedication to the Houston community. He will be dearly missed 🙏🏾

Happy International Women’s Day 🌹
International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated globally on March 8th to honor women’s achievements and advocate for gender equality.
In 1917, when Russia was on the verge of revolution, 100,000 women marched down the streets of the Russian capital Petrograd, demanding bread, improved working conditions, and an end to the rule of the Tsar. Their march, on March 8th, triggered a chain of events that resulted in the Russian Revolution and, later on, created “International Women’s Day”.
In 2025, the theme is “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment,” emphasizing the urgency to expedite progress toward gender parity.

HCPA GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY 🫶🏾
Last month in February, we donated a gift basket filled with school supplies to Ann Somers, a middle school teacher at “Harmony School of Technology” in Houston. Ms. Somers also sponsors the Student Council Club at Harmony. The basket donation was in support of their Black History Month Festival which included live entertainment, performances and food, in addition to their “ZULU Ball” 👑 where they crowned a King, Queen, Princess and Prince.
We are so glad to have sponsored such an exciting and educational event for students and the Houston academic community.
Keep up the good work Ms. Somers ‼️
