Disparities In Houston

There are more people of the Hispanic and Latino race in Baltimore now than in the 1980’s. The number of African

The 1901 discovery of the Spindletop field near Beaumont brought the oil boom to Texas. Cheap oil affected everything from transportation to state coffers to the establishment of higher education.

Gradually, the oil glut began to affect ordinary Texans. Soon after Spindletop, the availability of an ocean of cheap oil encouraged its use as fuel for transportation and manufacturing. After railroads converted from coal to oil, steamships followed, led by those operating in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. As automobiles became more common, roads began to be paved across the state. Mechanization of farm work increased quickly, enabling farmers to produce more food with fewer people. Manufacturing plants developed in the formerly agricultural state, using cheap oil as fuel. Texas' population scales, heavily weighted toward the rural before Spindletop, started to balance, and by 1940, the population was almost even: 55 percent rural and 45 percent urban. World War II tipped the scales, however, when wartime jobs at manufacturing plants in the cities lured large numbers of people from farms and small towns. Most never returned. This displacement of farming families was exacerbated by the absorption of many family farms into large corporate operations. Increasing numbers of migrants from other states and foreign countries also settled principally in urban centers. By 1980, the state was four-fifths urban. The political economy of resource-rich states faces an inherent tension between the role of the state and the private sector over control of

In addition to African Americans, Texans had used a system of racial profiling to convicted Hispanics as criminals between the 1920s and 1950s. Historian Oscar Jaquez Martinez states that “many European Americans sustained the racist premise that since Indian blood ran through Mexicans vines, this made them naturally, irrational, confrontationally, prune to committing to crimes.” This proves that many American states including Texas believed that Hispanics like Mexicans caused trouble. As a result, the texas justice system along with many other states had persecuted many Hispanics through their justice system. According to Oscar Jaquez Martinez, “Mexican immigrants were more likely to face flag flagrant violations of civil rights, trumped-up

In the beginning of the 20th century Texas discovered a major economic game changer. In January of 1901 in Spindletop, Texas oil was discovered in the form of a 100-foot geyser. Little did Texans know that their lives and economic situation would be changed forever. Right after the discovery most of the early profits made from oil went to easterners. When the 1920’s came around oil became a major economic engine. Causing major social changes in job opportunities, education, marriage, and sports.

I do not believe Texas with its changing demographics and social climate will be on the brink of another switch in party dominance anytime soon as immigration, guns and education are major factors. The demographics of Texas deal with the rising growth of the minority population throughout the years. In my opinion, I think minorities make up roughly half of Texas’s overall population. According to utexas.edu, “[a]s the reality of demographic changes set in during the late 1990s, part of what defined many Republicans as moderates was an emphasis in both rhetoric and policy toward increasing the party's appeal to Latinos and other ethnic and racial minorities”. Although the Democratic Party is known for receiving votes from minorities, the Republican

The state of Texas is one of the biggest state of the United States. The state of Texas has major cash flows from many industries some of these industries are the oil industry, transportation and logistics and agriculture and food production are some to mention that make the state of Texas a major money maker. Just the state of Texas oil refineries produces more than 4 million barrels of oil per day. The state of Texas is a major growing state in the business industry, we as residents of the state should realize the potential that the state has, and should work together to bring in more jobs to our people.

There has been big changes in the U.S. Since the turn of the century. I moved to Houston 4 years ago from Dallas and since then where I live in Houston has been changing every day. Its so remarkable within 5 years time a new community has been formed and its getting too crowed every where. New schools, hospitals, stores and roads are coming up every corner, when we think its crazy but actually the demand is getting higher. There is everything near you to meet our needs. But the traffic is getting too much in Houston, I think government can do better in that area and make less crowed.

In Texas, federal lawsuits were involved the drawing of district was because the result of race, racial discrimination, it was about history of racial exclusion, and minimization of participation of political process. Back in the days there was mostly white elected official and other hand minority people were frequently protesting that their voice need to be heard. And matter of fact their voices were ignored. Even though Hispanic and African American community made half of the Dallas population still they were dominated by white. They did not have proper representation in city council. After lawsuits in federal court whole thing have been changed. Two African-American activists documented a government claim and changed the way Dallas chooses its city authorities. At issue was the decision of some city committee individuals to "everywhere" seats, in which all voters could cast their votes. The claim battled that the cost of crusading expansive weakened minority voting quality. Government Judge Jerry Buch Meyer concurred and requested decisions to be held under an all single-part area framework.

Texas is one of the largest economies in the United States. In 2015 Texas was home to 54 companies on Fortune 500 list. Exxon Mobile was ranked 2 with headquarter out of Irving, Texas while Valero Energy ranked 13 with headquarter out of San Antonio, Texas. According to Fortune 500 magazine. Petroleum has been a major contribution to the growth and development to Texas economy. In 1940 Texas was established as the leading oil production in the United States. Page 13. To this date, Texas is still the leading oil producer in the United States. Throughout Texas's economic history you can see the growth from the impact of new innovations. Cotton and cattle played an important part in the economic changes in Texas. The technological changes

Texas’s economy has been known to shift throughout the years due to major development and influential changes. There are three primary developments that played a part in the evolution of Texas’s economy. One, the earliest development came along with the production of cotton, cattle, and distribution by the use of railroad systems. Two, the discovery and growth of oil followed shortly after. Three, the development of high-tech digital technology.

As Willsie Lee Mckinney, an African American Women put it, West Texas was full of job opportunities for all people. Now that Oil was plentiful, jobs such as cleaning houses, cooking, or doing laundry(domestic work) were also abundant and usually paid well. For instance, Willsie said that ten dollars a week was a decent wage for her in East Texas, but West Texas jobs could pay her ten dollars a day(Doc C). Oil in this case, helped America, or atleast Texas take a step towards racial equality. Minorities could now work and earn a decent wage. Likely, since people were getting so rich from discovering oil, they had more than enough money to pay ten dollars to a maid a day. This is seven times the amount of money that you would make in East Texas in a week, and now minorities could save up money for important things like school. Like the other social change brought up earlier, this also helped the Economy in Texas and more importantly gave all people in Texas an opportunity for a decent
