Founded in 1826. It’s main purpose was to get alcoholic drinks banned (this is known as prohibition). The

movement thought drinking alcoholic beverages ruined people’s health,

disrupted family life, led to unemployment, and promoted

“ungodly” behavior.

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT

League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC),

founded in 1929, is the oldest and most widely respected

Hispanic civil rights organization in the United

States of America, created to advocate for Hispanic’s basic

civil and human rights.

LULAC

Located in Houston, Texas, and is part of the Port of Houston—one of the United States' busiest seaports. The channel is the canal for ocean-

going vessels between Houston-area terminals and the Gulf of Mexico,

and serves an increasing volume of inland barge traffic.

HOUSTON SHIP CHANNEL

Also called Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) is the state agency that regulates the oil and gas industry, gas utilities, pipeline safety,

safety in the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) industry, and surface coal and uranium mining.

Despite its name, it no longer regulates railroads.[1]

Established by the Texas Legislature in 1891, it is the state's oldest regulatory agency and began as

part of the Efficiency Movement of the Progressive Era.
