SUMMARY:DPL: Oral History Pop-Up
DESCRIPTION:In-person Only \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOral history is essential to preserving and interpreting the voices and memories of individuals and communities involved in past events. They can be as simple as sharing stories from everyday life\, to as complex to how you remember important events. All help us understand how the world used to be by those who experienced it. We will have the Vivid-Pix Memory Sation on loan from the Central Library to record participants rich history through storytelling. Bring records\, photos and other items to scan in tandem with your story. Sign-ups are for 5-to-15-minute recording sessions.  \n\n\n\nTo request an oral history session outside of this program or for more information please contact the Genealogy & History Division at 214-670-1433 or genealogy@dallas.gov

SUMMARY:DPL: 250 Years of Us Book Club: The Only Good Indians
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Only \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the lead-up to America’s 250th anniversary\, this book club explores history through both fiction and non-fiction that challenge familiar narratives and invite fresh perspectives on the American past. Each selection encourages readers to look beyond the textbook version of history and consider the people\, choices\, and hidden stories that shaped the nation. \n\n\n\nMay Selection: The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones \n\n\n\nIn May’s selection\, we pivot to a gripping and unsettling novel that blends horror with contemporary Native American experience. Centered on four Blackfeet men haunted by a past hunting trip gone wrong\, the story examines themes of cultural identity\, tradition\, guilt\, and survival. Through suspense and sharp social insight\, this selection invites readers to confront the lingering consequences of history and consider whose stories have too often been marginalized in the American narrative. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:DPL: 250 Years of Us Book Club: Crooked by Austin Grossman
DESCRIPTION:Virtual and In-person \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the lead-up to America’s 250th anniversary\, this book club explores history through both fiction and non-fiction that challenge familiar narratives and invite fresh perspectives on the American past. Each selection encourages readers to look beyond the textbook version of history and consider the people\, choices\, and hidden stories that shaped the nation. \n\n\n\nApril Selection: Crooked by Austin Grossman \n\n\n\nApril’s selection takes a darkly imaginative turn\, blending alternative history\, political satire\, and supernatural thriller. Crooked reimagines Richard Nixon as an unlikely defender of America\, secretly battling occult forces and ancient cosmic threats lurking behind Cold War politics. Drawing on real historical figures and events\, the novel plays with conspiracy\, power\, and paranoia to explore the anxieties that shaped modern America. Through this strange and inventive lens\, Grossman offers a wildly original perspective on leadership\, secrecy\, and the hidden stories that might exist beneath the surface of the nation’s past. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

One must not only know where to look for the information\, but how to find it.

He is a co-leader of the Dallas Genealogical Society’s German SIG\, and a member of the Nation\, Texas State\, and Germanic Genealogical Societies. He has written several articles for the Texas State Genealogical Society’s quarterly magazine\, Stirpes.Bernard retired from the National Weather Service Southern Region Headquarters where he was the Chief of the Science & Training Branch.
