The Historic Fifth Ward, located on the northeast edge of downtown Houston, Tx. served
as home to the iconic musical venue “Club Matinee” founded in 1936. During the days of segregation,
legends like Ray Charles (one of his first gigs), James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Louis
Armstrong, Sam Cooke, Little Richard and B. B. King & more performed at this KCOH satellite location.
Award winning film director & multi-platinum Grammy nominated music producer Isaac Yowman, has
used his visual talents to document the history made during the era of Club Matinee with his newest
NAACP Image Award nominated film “Memory Builds The Monument”.
Yowman partnered with local non-profits Fifth Ward CRC and SOURCE Studio to create the project
through his film/tv production company IYO Visuals. The documentary premiered as an Official
Selection at SXSW and has won nearly a dozen film festivals globally.
Paramount now has acquired the film, and will officially debut “Memory Builds The Monument” on BET
throughout Black History Month, and available to stream on BET+ February 1st.
