“Protesters rallied near the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo today, voicing discontent over what they say is under-representation of Hispanics at the event.

The group, VIVE Tejano-Houston, three weeks ago urged would-be rodeo visitors to stay away this year, and stepped up the boycott today because it marks the show’s annual Go Tejano Day, a celebration of Hispanic heritage. More than 100 protesters in bright yellow shirts lined Kirby near Loop 610, next to one of the show’s main entrances.”*
