Economic Fair In Houston

Houston hosted the National Urban Leagues' economic fair yesterday at Minute Maid Park. Its' purported purpose was to "arm blacks with the financial tools needed to secure a prosperous future".

The tour titled, "You, Your Money, Your Future, chose Houston as its fourth stop on its year long tour.

According to Marc Morial, Houston was chosen as a stop on the economic empowerment tour because of its booming economy fueled by the energy industry, but blacks and Latinos are not reaping the benefits of the boon.

Um..the word "energy" is coming up a lot in the New Orleans area.
