The Hispanic and African American communities are protesting the lack of diversity within the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. A press conference is scheduled for Friday, February 27, at 10:30 a.m. at the Harris County Administration Building located at 1001 Preston. Everyone is welcome to support the cause.
A protest at Reliant Stadium is scheduled for Friday, March 13, at 5:00 pm. The performer for that evening will be Clint Black.
The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo was established in 1931 and has used government facilities since 1938. Millions of tax dollars have been used to create venues and provide year-round office space for the rodeo. For this reason, leaders from both communities feel the rodeo should be inclusive of all communities.

Excellent decision by Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia also.
Can I just protest Clint Black for being Clint Black?
