Hispanic group calls for boycott of Houston Rodeo

A group of Hispanic leaders said Tuesday that Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo officials haven’t done enough to include Hispanics, so they are calling for a boycott of the three-week show that starts Monday.

“We request our friends across the whole state of Texas not to attend the Houston Livestock Show,” said former state Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos.

Among complaints from the newly-formed group VIVE Tejano-Houston — made up of representatives from the Tejano music industry, Houston-area politicians and members of other professional organizations — is the type of performers at the show’s main venue on Go Tejano Day.”*
