In El Campo, the city council has unanimously voted to honor longtime former councilwoman Gloria Harris by naming the pavilion at Willie Bell Park after her. The 83-year-old Harris, who served the southwest precinct for 30 years as the city’s longest-serving member and its first Black woman on council, expressed gratitude for the recognition while addressing some confusion from the meeting. Despite a request from Willie Bell’s family to consider his late wife Mary instead, the park’s overall name remains unchanged.
