On Wednesday’s Houston Matters: Harris County plans to spend $30 million to bring in hundreds of additional nurses to the Houston area to help the region's strained hospital system. We discuss that and other news related to COVID-19 with Doug Lawson, the CEO of St. Luke's Health.

Also this hour: We discuss the latest news in our weekly political roundup.

Then, we revisit a conversation from 2018 about how Southern Blacks fared here in Texas during Reconstruction and under Jim Crow.

And we learn how local concert venues and musicians are dealing with the COVID-19 surge while still performing.
