Houston African American Trail Riders The Texas Gulf Coast is home to a rich, black cowboying tradition. The counties that surround Harris —especially Waller, Fort Bend, Brazoria and those further south along the Coastal Bend — are still home to a thriving ranch community. African-American cowboys helped build that culture and economy, and it is this legacy that spurred the creation of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s black trail ride associations.

Winter Celebrations: The Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Procession The devotional traditions associated with the Virgin of Guadalupe are in practice throughout the year among Catholics who identify strongly with her as a source of inspiration, identity and guidance. Home altars, yard shrines and special chapels in neighborhoods and parishes are dedicated to her and tended year round. However, as the feast day approaches, individuals, families and church communities make special preparations, refresh their offerings to her and engage in forms of re-consecration that may include a blessing, a dance, a prayer session, a performance of banda or mariachi music or all of them together.
