Lightnin' Hopkins to get historical marker in Third Ward | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "Lightnin' Hopkins, the late legendary Houston blues musician, has been awarded a historical marker by the Texas Historical Commission.
The marker will likely be placed this fall at the corner of Dowling and Francis in the Third Ward.
The Centerville-born Sam Hopkins moved to Houston in the 1920s and lived here until his death in 1982.
A statue of Hopkins stands in Crockett, but his headstone in Forest Park Cemetery was the only public marker that tied Hopkins to this city."
