Mickey Leland Archives
On September 1, 2016, The Mickey Leland Center on Hunger, Poverty, and World Peace at Texas Southern University adopted its new name. The center was repurposed to demonstrate and align more with the vision and focus of the late Congressman Mickey Leland. The newly named center continues to administer the unpublished papers, artifacts, and audio visual materials dealing with the work of the late U.S. Congressman George Thomas "Mickey" Leland III. Alison Leland, the widow of the late Congressman, donated his congressional papers to Texas Southern University in 1989. The Mickey Leland Archives and Library is a part of the Archives Collection of the 18th Congressional District of Houston, Texas, located at Texas Southern University. The Mickey Leland papers documents his public service career from 1970 to 1989 and provide a political perspective on the history and culture of Houston, its 88th State District, and the 18th U.S. Congressional District during those years.
The collection features papers and records of local political and civic leaders; labor, professional and ethnic organizations; artists, authors and activist groups. It reveals that Leland successfully represented the interests of Houston’s liberals and conservatives, African Americans, Hispanics and whites, rich and poor, in order to become one of the most durable and successful advocates for hunger relief and the interests of the homeless in the history of American politics.
