Slabs, as any hip-hop historian will tell you, have always been a form of populist folk art with deep roots in Houston’s African-American communities. As such, the real stars of Sunday’s “Slab Parade and Family Festival” were the cars and the people who diligently created them. They are Houston’s own and their artistry has spread beyond our hometown borders, becoming a cultural phenomenon in the process.
