LOCAL Houston | The City Guide JANUARY 2016 | Page 31

COMMUNITY HOUSTON A TO Z “The state of being diverse; variety” is the definition of diversity – and Houston knows it well. But it’s not always an easy thing to understand and accept. We hope this A–Z opens your eyes to what others experience and just how diverse this city really is. If you want more, THE CHRONICLE and LA VOZ are exploring the fact that in Harris County, more than a million residents – one in four – are foreign-born. The percentage is similar across the region, and foreigners continue to be drawn to Houston. The series explores how diversity shapes this city. #TheMillion www.houstonchronicle.com/local/themillion/ january 16 | L O C A L 31
