William Marsh Rice
Episode description
B and CC take a trip back to Houston's past and refresh the city's memory of one of our "founding fathers", Mr. William Marsh Rice. One of the earliest and more famous murder mysteries of Houston's history is dug up and reexamined under today's lens to see if the tale still holds after all these years. We discuss Mr. Rice's many accomplishments and gifts to the city of Houston, as well as the aftermath of his murder and reflect on how one man's hard work has an affect on all of us in Houston to this day.
