Clint introduces our guest Tom Frazier https://schreiner.edu/the-texas-center/ This is a link for a short film. Tom is starting a program to teach the Texas seventh graders about Texas history. Also trying to market the program. The historians acknowledged that the committee had a difficult assignment; Donald Frazier, the chair of the subcommittee in charge of drafting the pamphlet, called squeezing the entirety of the state’s history into little more than a dozen pages a “herculean task.” For more info on the 1836 project see link https://www.texastribune.org/2022/09/26/texas-1836-project-pamphlet/ He earned the trust of the people. All he does is read dead people's mail to determine history. Others make assumptions on how an event happened then they cherry pic facts to match their own conclusions. He is also on the Museum Planning Committee https://www.thealamo.org/support/alamo-plan/museum-planning-committee. This committee will get things going. This next link shows what they are planning for the plaza. https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/New-rendering-shows-vision-for-Alamo-Plaza-15511400.php#photo-19859636 What this plan has going for is the big Mo (momentum). Got to keep going when you have the big Mo. Volunteers are always welcome. By 2050 the population will double in Texas. We need to teach the new people about what Texas is all about. If someone is new to Texas take them out the see where history happened. When he was asked about he told them that Mexico had Texas. They wanted to get it settled. After the Americans moved to Texas they did not like the way Mexico ran Texas. So the Texans took Texas from Mexico. Tom held every ones attention during his presentation and did not use notes. He then had time for questions. |
