Civic Engagement

Hello,

Here is Stephen Klineberg's presentation about the Changing Face of Houston.

Feel free to share the link with your community leaders.  Notes (courtesy of Marcos Martinez) from the September 23rd event include:

• Houston demographics will be model for rest of America as it also transitions to majority non-white.
  4 minorities: Asians (7%), Latino (40%), Anglo (38%), Black (19%)
• Each City Council district in Houston has been appropriated $1 million
• Panelist: student must have food/shelter in order to proceed and focus on education. (ex. Library user can fully utilize the resources the Library provides only if basic needs have been met)

Share any other notes that you have with me and I will add them here.

Thanks,

Laurie
