We interviewed Rosalio & Angelita Tobias. Both shared stories of their parents' early days in Hays County and spoke of the prejudices they and their families faced. Their oral history underscores the racial challenges Latinos have historically faced in Texas #ExtraShotOfHistory
I recently interviewed Dr. Doretha Spencer. She spoke of her familial ties to both Kendleton and enslaved/emancipated relatives.
Dr. Spencer's interview adds another page to the history of Kendleton, a Freedom colony whose story is Texas history.

Saturday, we interviewed Ralph Gonzales, who rose up from migrant farmer to Hays County Commissioner. Sunday, we had our second interview with Frank Arrendondo, former Mayor of San Marcos. Their oral histories will be preserved for future generations to view

Interviewed Frank Arrendondo today about his family history in Hays County. His granddad escaped the 1910 Mex Revolution and became a successful businessman. Frank's dad served in WWII and ran the family business. A future interview will capture Frank's life.

Description of images: A #PublicHistorian spends his 36th bday at the #TexasStateCapitol. Pictured is the Capitol dome, rising 218' from the floor. The dome's acoustics allow visitors to hear their own echos when standing directly underneath. #ExtraShotOfHistory

Be on the lookout for my new album, "(Truss) Bridge Over Troubled Water," by Jason and Garfunkel..
A TxDOT historian visits the Headless Man Bridge, a 1930-built warren through truss. Why the name? No idea and neither does Google.

I recently conducted an oral history with Reverend Leo Humphrey of Kendleton, TX. He shared his family history and work in the community. His story allows future generations to learn more about African American communities through the voices who shape it.

#RealPlaces23 wrap up: got to hang out and talk shop with friends and colleagues in the historic preservation/public history world. The sessions were very beneficial for my work at TxDOT and my independent preservation work.

Sometimes gas station coffee is the best coffee in town. Magnolia Filling Station is a 1920s era gas station that now operates as a coffee shop. And it's #InternationalCoffeeDay today, a perfect day for an #ExtraShotOfHistory.

A sea shanty:
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Elissa, you see
Shes docked and sound, her mast stands tall
Down by the Galveston Channel
Soon the Historian come
An #ExtraShotOfHistory for some
1 day, when his coffee is done
He'll grab 1 more 2 go
These shotgun houses represent #HistoricPreservation 's past, present, and future. Its past is that of 1930s-era homes for African Americans living in Houston's historic Third Ward...

Trust me when I say this pony of a truss bridge ain't horsing around at nearly 100 years old. #ExtraShotOfHistory #HistorianInRepose
Oral histories are a great way to capture underrepresented stories. Recording and preserving history, from the bottom up, allows for a more representative, holistic story of our society to be told.
