Lubbock has changed dramatically.

When I was young there, you seldom saw a black person outside of east Lubbock unless they were working, usually at some manual labor type of job.

It was an extremely segregated city. I never had a black person in school until my senior year in high school.

I was at Texas Tech the first or second year they admitted blacks.

I am glad to see the changes and the acceptance of the evacuees.

This was not to condemn the town, rather it was to compliment the good folks of Lubbock for the positive changes there.

But I thought Lubbock Tx was one of America's most conservative cities.
