Black History Month

This Black History Month check out one of the books to learn more about America's past. 



Stamped From the Beginning discusses racism and anti-black ideas throughout American history. The author frames this story using five major figures from U.S. history; Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, and W.E.B. Du Bois. 



Each of Four Hundred Souls' eighty chapters covers five years of African American history starting in 1619 and ending in 2019. 



The 1619 Project looks at how African Americans have been a part of the American landscape since Europeans arrived in Jamestown. This is a collection of essays and historical vignettes describing the impact of slavery on the country and how the changing views about African Americans have impacted the laws and customs.

Texas Wildflowers

This time of year wildflowers are everywhere. Of course Texas is most famous for its bluebonnets, but there are lots of varieties of wildflowers out there. Most people know that Ladybird Johnson was responsible for the Texas Wildflower Program, but not everyone knows that it continues to this day. TxDOT continues to sow wildflower seeds everywhere, beautifying the highways of Texas. Mowing is only done during this time when necessary for public safety. Great for the environment and great for the scenery! Get more information on the program , or check out the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center . To find them and see for yourself, get sighting info from Wild About Texas  Wildflower: Sightings . See some great Texas wildflower pix at Flickr .
