About Lorenza Butler, Jr.
Our Philosophy
The Houston Informer Foundation, Inc. (HIFI) is dedicated to preserving and commemorating the contributions of influential figures from the past and empowering future generations with that knowledge.
2024 is a continuation of our popular 2023 Photo Exhibits in the Houston area, supported by major sponsors like H-E-B.
The non-profit is pleased to announce the 2024 continuation and expansion of that initiative. “Step Back in Time” will involve a tribute to the publishers of the Houston Informer and Texas 3 man as well as a series of events designed to attract a diverse audience of participants.
‘The need exists to attract a new generation to an appreciation of history,” said Lorenza Butler, Chair of the Houston Informer Foundation and Publisher Emeritus of the Houston Informer and Texas Freeman Newspaper. “That need is made more necessary with recent culture wars against the value of historical fact.
HIFI’s focus is to
use entertainment venues and events to share real-life stories of ordinary citizens who accomplished extra-ordinary achievements for African Americans in Texas history.”
