 Japanese farmers. Italian cowboys. Black Indians. Jewish oil tycoons. This program on the Institute of Texan Cultures at the University of Texas, San Antonio, explores multiculturalism, Texas-style—a big, big story that embraces the Native Americans, Mexicans, and Tejanos of the region and the 19th-century European immigrants processed through the port of Galveston. Using exhibits, programs, and publications that encourage appreciation of people’s differences as well as their common humanity, the institute provides a forum for the dynamics of diversity.
