Houston: Prophetic City – What Houston Can Teach the Rest of the Country
This year’s Anton-Lippitt lecture will focus on the theme of community engagement, citizenship, and partnerships.
The open keynote event features Stephen L. Klineberg, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Rice University and the founding-director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research.
Houston clearly exemplifies the trends that are refashioning the social and political landscape across America. The new high-tech, knowledge-based, fully global economy is generating mounting inequalities based primarily on access to quality education. At the same time, an epic transformation is underway, as this city and country, once predominantly composed of European nationalities, is rapidly becoming a microcosm of all the world’s ethnicities and religions. And as urban regions compete for the “knowledge workers” in the new economy, quality-of-place attributes now increasingly determine the fates of cities. The panel reviews the findings from 38 years of systematic surveys to show how the new realities are unfolding, to assess the changing attitudes and beliefs of the general public, and to consider the implications of these ongoing trends for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Together with several panelists, Professor Klineberg will discuss how some destination cities have evolved toward inclusion and explore the institutions and strategies that support inclusive evolution.
Panelists include:
Angela Blanchard, Brown University
Amanda Edwards, Houston City Council
Armando Walle, Texas House of Representatives
Moderated by: Susan Moffitt, Director of the Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy
You Can Beat City Hall
This is a news documentary about the takedown of Mayor J.C. Martin from Laredo, Texas. It aired in CBS in the late 1970s.

Invitacion Para MAYOR'S HOLIDAY CELEBRATION AND TREE LIGHTING EN HOUSTON TEXAS
Noviembre 30 VIERNES ESTAREMOS EN EL DOWNTOWN DE HOUSTON TEXAS EN EL HERMAN SQUARE AT CITY HALL EN HOUSTON TEXAS.In the competitive world of Norteño” music, one could present them as just one more group in this genre, but there is a difference in these individuals, they are a couple of child prodigies who were born in Houston, Texas and who in a short time have become celebrities
“We have one hundred percent Mexican blood and proudly follow such customs and traditions like norteño music , say the children. Their dad explains how their name came about, the word “luz” means light so they are Luzeros with Z because they are the light of his family and de Rioverde” because he was born in the city of the same name in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí. Their artistic qualities and abilities were ignited at the young age of eight for Yaxeni and four years old for Ricardo when they saw their father interpreting “Norteño music in public. It is then they decided to study and learn, Yaxeni on the accordion with the help of her mother's hand and Ricardo with the bass that he could barely hold.
Their discipline in learning paid off and after uploading a video to social networks that went viral, invitations to participate in various events began. They uploaded more videos to youtube and continued to cause a sensation for their natural born talent.
With so much success in social networks, their dad decided to record an album at the end of 2015, titled Recordar es Vivir” and with other Norteño” songs of yesteryear, the Luzeros de Rioverde” were known.
It is in 2016 that the Garmex Music label was interested in promoting them and thus marked the beginning of their career in the major leagues of music with the recording of their second album where the hit El Descendiente was released, with an intention of moral support to the millions of Mexican immigrants who live in the United States.
of Garmex Music in the promotion and dissemination of their songs, Los Luzeros de Rioverde begin a new phase of internationalization by performing in the most important television programs such as Despierta América, Un Nuevo Día, Sal y Pimienta and a special invitation from Don Francisco to participate in the broadcast of Siempre niños, among other television programs such as Telemundo, Univisión, CNN, etcetera ...
Television, radio and social networks allowed the rapidly growing career of Los Luzeros de Rioverde and they were invited in January 2017 to the Grandes Chicos program in Colombia. Their generosity was evident when they also participated in the Seminary of St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where the media representatives were surprised by the talent of these young artists.
At their young age they have already participated in events in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, and among many other cities. They first traveled to Mexico to participate in the 400 year celebration of the founding of Rioverde, San Luis Potosí and due to the tremendous success they were asked to come back again to perform at the traditional city fair.
Yaxeni and Ricardo combine their time with school and music classes because they want to perfect themselves at the events to which they are invited to. They are currently giving the final touches to their third album with Garmex Music, which will be titled Con sentimiento y amor, where for the first time, they will interpret some songs entirely in English.
They are “Los Luzeros de Rioverde

Syan Rhodes reports
2017 WELCOME TO LAREDO, TEXAS, U.S.A.
Interstate 35 starts/ends at City of Laredo, Texas, U.S.A.
Residents of City of Laredo, Texas are at least 98% Mexican nationals or of Mexican descent, legal residents or tons of illegals as well.
Very few of them speak any English.
If you don't speak Spanish you won't be able to get any job not just in Laredo, TX but anywhere along the Mexico border from Brownsville, TX to Mexico-California border.
Webb County, Texas, where City of Laredo is located, voted massively for Crooked Hillary in the last presidential election, 74.4% for HRC and just 22.8% for 45th POTUS Donald J Trump.
In the video: Interstate 35, border crossing into Mexico, view of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, border patrol agents safeguarding the roads by Rio Grande, downtown Laredo, streets of Laredo, residents (tons of them illegals) of Laredo waiting for a lift to take them inland.
Very rare to see a non-Spanish speaking white caucasian in Laredo, Texas.
City of Laredo, Texas: a typical rural Mexican city on the U.S. side of the border.
