🇺🇸 **Hispanics Woven in the Fabric of the US**

"_The irony of Texas begins with its name. Tejas is the Spanish version of the Indigenous name. Today, the Texas cowboy image is a fusion of the Mexican Mestizo and Spanish men who work on horseback in the cattle industry to this day. The cowboy hat, neck scarf, belt buckle, boots, and spurs, are all the trappings of Vaqueros: Hispanic men. The language on the ranch is sprinkled with Spanish words: rodeo, lasso, corral._"
