SUMMARY:"The Myth of Equality"
DESCRIPTION:Houston Muralist Daniel Anguilu uses life itself as his subject matter.  Painting abstract shapes\, animal imagery\, and vibrant color\, his style is inspired by his Mexican heritage and the celebrated Mexican muralists.  His art has become increasingly more visible around the Bayou City as well as in other parts of the United States\, Mexico\, Peru\, and Italy. \nPlease join the Center for the Healing of Racism on Saturday\, May 21\, 2022\, 2:00-4:00pm\, to hear Anguilu discuss how his art reflects societies shaped by colonialism\, religion and the caste system\, all factors that have resulted in racial oppression.\n\n“I’m a muralist\,” Anguilu says\, “I observe\, analyze and question the essential components in life and the human condition. The murals I create are my contribution to stop any type of injustice and to bring awareness to social\, cultural\, and political issues.” A facilitated dialogue will follow Anguilu’s presentation.\n\nThe event will be LIVE and IN-PERSON at 3412 Crawford Street\, Houston 77004. Free parking is available at Houston Community College lot #9 (Crawford & Holman). To reserve your seat\, please register below no later than Thursday May 19 at:  https://www.centerhealingracism.org/event/the-myth-of-equality/\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: You must bring your printed registration confirmation to the presentation.

SUMMARY:How Long Will Our Aquifers Last?
DESCRIPTION:Groundwater is\, as famously quoted by the Texas Supreme Court in 1904\, “secret\, occult\, and concealed.” Sometimes referred to as “hidden water\,” it is out of sight and\, therefore\, unfortunately\, out of mind. However\, groundwater comprises 98.7 percent of all the fresh\, unfrozen water on Earth. About 40 percent of all surface-water flows in the United States are sourced from innumerable seeps and springs that discharge groundwater into streams and rivers. Groundwater supports 26 percent of the human use of water with 70 percent of it watering crops. As drier areas become drier and droughts increase everywhere\, groundwater is expected to make up the difference. Unfortunately\, much of the groundwater used across the planet is produced unsustainably. This unsustainable use affects flows to springs\, streams\, rivers\, wetlands\, and estuaries that support ecologies as well as human needs. In some cases\, such as in the Houston area\, groundwater production has caused the land to sink\, increasing flooding. In this presentation\, Professor Mace will present what he has learned about groundwater sustainability through a report he published late last year title “Five Gallons in a Ten-Gallon Hat: Groundwater Sustainability in Texas” and in a forthcoming book titled “Groundwater Sustainability: Its Birth\, Development\, and Application.” Listeners will have a better understanding of what groundwater sustainability is\, how Texas and the greater Houston area is doing with sustainable groundwater management\, and what people can do to achieve groundwater sustainability. Time for interactive discussion with the speaker will be provided.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-long-will-our-aquifers-last-tickets-314757356727.
