@TracesofTexas There are some sad chapters in Texas history, to be sure. But history is history. Facts are facts. We are better when we know and understand them and can condemn the evil as much as we enshrine the good. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. Wise words. Thanks for this.
@TracesofTexas A friend from my high school days did a documentary on The Children of Giant. Giant said a lot about race relations in Texas. Edna Ferber wrote it as an indictment. The movie was much more hopeful. The documentary follows up on what happened to some of these children.
@TracesofTexas Wow. Just wow. I think this may have been her most impressive role. She aged 30 years in the part and did a terrific job. Texans hate the book, love the movie.
@TracesofTexas I remember sitting just like that when I was about 5 years old. Going down the highway in the back of a pickup. Seems insane now, but somehow I survived.
The best way was when you were moving from one ranch to another. Saddle to lean against, wind in your hair.
@h_miller76 Wishing you the very best as you go forward. You are clearly a brilliant and hard workin young man who deserves the best in life. I understand that when depression takes over it may be hard for you to remember that, but it remains true and I hope can be your North Star now.
