Voting was super easy, in and out in no time. Everyone was nice and helpful.

They had early voting so I went. They need more Id checkers, their 20 voting machines were never full. People were nice and professional.

This place has changed since the last time I was there (backed in the 80s). Now they have vendors outside and inside the building. But still have the Blk experience and reading. Good place to visit.

Buy black market is awesome. 1st Saturdays

Black business yay.......for me turning around love it

Ive been to a few market days here and also to the Black Food Trucks event in the fall of 2019; everything has always been fabulous. Ive always felt very welcomed and the events have been well-organized and with a wide range of vendors. I think the last time I went, I left with laundry detergent, cold brew hibiscus tea, some vegan carrot cake, and a pot of hand cream. Everything fabulous. So yeah, Ill go again, as often as theyll let me :)

The people there were very nice, and very helpful. I went in to vote, and was out in minutes! Voting should ALWAYS be this quick!

Went to Vote and quick no one was there in and out

Voting location was great! In and out 1st thing in the morning.

The most wonderful uplifting, spiritual, frrindlest institution I have ever been to in my entire life.

Great experience and beautiful energy in the room. So much to learn about black culture and advancement here in the city of houston. Help is needed and support is necessary.

Venue is very welcoming, spacious and accommodating. Plenty of room for the event we attended, as well as numerous vendors. Restrooms were nice and clean, and I appreciated the cultural art.

This place is steeped in African American history. And the atmosphere is so satisfying. The market events are the best, handmade natural organic items.

Its great to have this place in Houston. Pure history. Pure power. So humble and helpful staff!I attended a public discussion on Afrolatinos in Houston here. They open the doors for this event on a non-working day because they believed in it. That tells you a lot about these nice and beautiful people.

Voted today in and out great

Great location to vote.

Best kept secret in Houston has a bookstore and black holocaust museum best thing its always free

Awesome place.to visit... On some.weekemds they serve excellent food varieties and offer great merchandise. Stop by and check it out!!!

My new happy place. Period pooh! Black power..

Ive been to speaking engagements and events hosted here. Each time, this place was ready and the parking is great here.

I felt at home with the crowd here. They welcomed me as a first time vendor like extended family. There were also a lot of great booths at the expo to interact with me. There were very unique items and friendly owners.

Come here for events often and always a pleasure.

The beauty of my people is amazing! Great vendor markets, classes and workshops. Beautiful African and Black art everywhere. Only thing I regret about this place is that I never came here during the three years that I lived literally 2 blocks away from them.

Always great vibes, energy and amazing vendors! Ms. Nailah is an awesome woman!

Wonderful place to go and experience African American culture

Best place for Black events has vendors on 1st and 3rd Saturdays

Great education

Great for natural products shopping on Saturdays and food vendors and others handmade items

Went to a Africa American pop up sales /fair. There was a great assortment of foods, clothes, books, jewelry and all kind of fun stuff to see. We had a great time. Its was so wonderful to see unique items.

Voted. Safe precess.

Very friendly atmosphere and lots of business going on at the market place. Good food, good music, good people, good products. Thanks for the lovely vibesHappy #BlackHistory Month

Went there to vote hope you did

Was there for the Black Market Place event...saw alot of great ideas from the business owners. ..I learned they have this event every 1st and 3rd Saturday. ...will definitely go again...

I love this place and in my opinion this is where I would prefer to get my books. The Shrine hosts tons of events that uplift the black community and brings us together. I have seen awesome lectures, performances and had some great food here, all made by folks that look like me!If you are a reader and are looking for something nontraditional but educational at the same time, I suggest you stop at the Shrine and have a look around.I would give anything to be wealthy enough to invest in the Shrine. I would proud to be stamp on making the world better, one book at a time.

Always a good place to learn about OURstory, buy African accessories/clothing, and get something to eat.

Transforming and thought provoking. So glad to see the Black Culture Market opening on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays. Healthy choices of food and nut milks.

They have good stuff and employees are super nice

Great people awesome bindershows

Love it best experience of African culture

It has the best events. Always clean and comfortable atmosphere. Best place to host events and parties or family get togethers

Long standing Pan African Orthodox Christian Church. Their theology was confused; Read some excerpts from both King James Bible and the Quran. The Multi Cultural Center was adequte.

Love this place! The atmosphere, the culture, the warmth... ITS AMAZING!

Went there for the Black Food Truck Festival....had a great time..

Very good place to learn about our culture, history & heritage!

Love attending The Buy Black Market

They host the African Holocaust Museum.They offer Free tax preparation each Saturday by a true IRS Agent.They also host on the 1st Saturday of each month the Buy Black Marketplace. Booth space is available!!On Sundays they even share very inspiring words of truth.

If you about the uplifting your fellow men please come support small business.The spirit and energy in the build is magnificent.

I went to the Black Market event on July 7th apparently they have every 2nd weekend of the month. It was wall to wall local vendors ready to talk about their business. I bought from EargasmJewlerypieces_ to a sports game. I brought the shirt she found earrings and wrap bracelet to go with it. Parking was an issue, but that can be fixed. It was great to see black owned establishments supporting each other and to see local Houstonians coming to purchase items from small businesses. It was amazing to see!

Beautiful experience, tasty food, and a great extended family.

Im here every chance I get supporting my people.

Monthly Buy Black Market is awesome.

The shrine bookstore, cultural and events center houses the African Holocaust Museum. They have a lot of Great information and community events. The books are very rare. The customer service is outstanding. They also have tight parking lot and facility security.

As an author embracing the shrine was an experience I will never forget,it helped me realize what I have to do to help our black culture...

I went today to hear a lecture from Dr. Umar and I received lots of knowledge.

Was a vendor at a weekend event. It rained so turn out was low but it was also overbooked vendor wise. I am however looking for to attending something as a patron in the future.

Nice family service
