HOUSTON– The use of the word “Negro” on the 2010 U.S. Census questionnaire sparked a recent town hall meeting in Houston held at the Judson Robinson Community Center to discuss its impact and the need for Blacks to still participate in the census process. Council Member Wanda Adams, who co-chairs the Houston Counts Committee, urged the predominately Black audience to not “let that word deter us” at the forum held earlier this month.
“For every person who does not take the census, that is potentially a $1,500 dollars loss,” said Adams. “Let’s get our money here in Houston. We stand to get millions in federal funding plus a new Congressional seat and two City Council positions. Let’s participate.”

HOUSTON- Houstonians from across the city came together on the outer skirts of downtown for a Tweet Up. Yes, a Tweet Up! Sounds strange, right? Well, if you are not one of the millions of Twitter.com users around the world, it would sound strange!
