Subject: Yes, Can y’all need do something for Houston, TX?

I’m a multiracial descendant of African-American, Native American, and Caucasian ancestry. I live in the Houston area and I would like for something to be done here for us multiracial people. Many of us are ignored in various ways so please help us down here and please do include people of multiracial ancestry as multiracial instead of just only focusing those who come from interracial marriages in our struggle for civil rights. People have multiracial ancestors (like myself) are multiracial people, too. Even do many of our families deny their mixed roots and claim to be monoracial people. I still refuse to deny my mixed heritage. We (multiracial descendants) need to be known in the movement, too.
