S. they had been deprived by their traditions, being forced to integrate in the larger, more complex community. In spite of the slave owners and traders' efforts to break them completely from their culture, during their first years on American land, the blacks managed to keep most of their traditions. However, as time passed, black traditions changed into American traditions and African people became Americans.
Black people in Texas have a very rich history and as they've managed to become independent as a minority, their culture has also been revived. Moreover, the black community in Texas has contributed to the Texan history as it has also contributed to the birth of several important Texans.
A large part of the Hispanics residents of the U.S. inhabit the state of Texas and their number has visibly grown during the last decades. The Latin- American communities in Texas are generally oppressed and Latin people are seen as being a burden for the U.S. economy.
The typical Hispanic family in Texas is very united and its members are strongly connected. Generally, all of the family's members consider the father as being the head of the family, while the mother is responsible for the house management. Because of their strong connection, members within the family depend on the rest of the family, and, in their turn, have to insure the well-being of their entire family. Families are brought together during holidays and celebration family events.

World War II saw these workers enlisting in the military, working in factories, or moving into other jobs as the economy generally expanded.
