A while back I wrote on flickr my inspiration for this photo:
Just a little tidbit about the place I call home…
Often overlooked as a world-class city, Houston is one of the most culturally-diverse cities in the United States with a demographic in which everyone is part of a
population-based minority (37.9% Anglo, 37.8% Hispanic, 17.8% African-American, 6.6% Asian/Other from recent Rice University Survey). While relations are far from perfect, our city has been used as a model by other major metropolitan areas in their planning for demographic diversity and tolerance.Houston has always been an underdog. We didn’t have a hit TV show bearing our name in the 1980s. We don’t have mountains. We don’t have Disney. We don’t have
Frank Sinatra singing songs lauding our existance. We do, however, have a sense of community…and a reasonably tolerant one at that. Just one of the many reasons, I call Houston home.
