We are thankful for historic milestones and would like our guests to come learn about the 60th anniversary of The Kennedys visit to Houston and their speeches at The Rice Hotel in Downtown.  This special indoor exhibit portrays how November 21, 1963, was a celebration of Presidential recognition for Latinos as a voting bloc. Enjoy complimentary Mexican pan dulce and beverages.

Did you know that while the President was in Downtown Houston, he attended a dinner at The Houston Coliseum (the Hobby Center) honoring U.S. Rep. Albert Thomas and his work to bring the Manned Space Center to Houston? Now, you know, and you will learn other significant facts leading up to Kennedy’s visit and the day after his visit to Houston in Dallas when the world learned about his assassination.
