SUMMARY:DPL Exhibit: The Mexican American Museum of Texas presents "Spanish Texas during the American Revolution: Life and Legacy\, 1775 – 1783"
DESCRIPTION:In-person Only \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover a lesser-known story of the American Revolution at Spanish Texas during the American Revolution: Life and Legacy\, 1775 – 1783\,” a compelling new exhibit on the 8th floor of the Dallas Public Library. Designed and produced by The Mexican American Museum of Texas\, this display highlights how Tejanos and Spanish settlers contributed to the American Revolution while navigating the challenges of daily life on the Texas frontier. \n\n\n\nThrough bilingual panels\, descendant collaboration and interactive replicas\, visitors will gain an authentic look at\, among many other things\, the food\, medicine\, work\, leisure\, and resilience of Tejano communities in a region dominated by Native peoples. Significantly\, this exhibit expands the narrative of the American Revolution beyond the thirteen colonies\, ensuring that the contributions of Texas Hispanos are properly recognized. \n\n\n\n\nMORE INFO

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: Kindred
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\nJune Selection: Kindred by Octavia Butler \n\n\n\nIn June’s selection\, we turn to a powerful and thought-provoking novel that blends historical fiction with speculative elements to confront the realities of slavery in America. When a modern Black woman is repeatedly pulled back in time to a Maryland plantation\, Kindred forces readers to reckon with the human impact of the nation’s founding era. Through its intimate\, unflinching portrayal of survival\, power\, and ancestry\, this selection deepens our understanding of the complex and often painful histories that underpin America’s story—an essential reflection as we approach the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:DPL: The American Revolution and the Rebellion in Texas with Dr. Sam Haynes
DESCRIPTION:In-person Only \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRevolution remembered. Revolution reimagined. Revolution reborn. \n\n\n\nDr. Sam W. Haynes\, professor at University of Texas at Arlington\, brings the story of the American Revolution forward into the 19th century\, revealing how its ideals echoed far beyond 1776. As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary\, this program explores how the language\, memory and myth of the “Spirit of ’76” shaped the rebellion in Texas and the movement that ultimately led to independence from Mexico. \n\n\n\nOften overlooked in discussions of the Texas Revolution is the extent to which Anglo-Texans consciously looked backward—drawing on revolutionary rhetoric\, symbols\, and strategies from the founding era to interpret their conflict with Mexico City. By tracing these connections\, Dr. Haynes reveals how the legacy of 1776 was not just remembered\, but actively repurposed—offering a powerful lens on how Americans have continually reimagined the meaning of revolution\, liberty and independence across generations. \n\n\n\n\nMORE INFO

SUMMARY:DPL: 250 Years of Us Book Club: Revolutionary Summer
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\nJuly Selection: Revolutionary Summer: the Birth of American Independence by Joseph J. Ellis \n\n\n\nIn July’s selection\, we turn to a vivid work of narrative history that brings the turbulent summer of 1776 into sharp focus. Moving between Philadelphia\, New York City\, and London\, the book traces the precarious path toward independence through the perspectives of political leaders\, soldiers\, and ordinary citizens. By weaving together battlefield realities with the high-stakes debates of the Continental Congress\, this selection highlights the uncertainty\, risk\, and contingency at the nation’s founding—inviting readers to reconsider the Revolution not as an inevitable triumph\, but as a fragile and deeply human moment in history. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Best Practices SIG
DESCRIPTION:In-person & Virtual Event \n\n\n\nThe Best Practices SIG is for genealogists who want to learn advanced methodology skills and techniques.  \n\n\n\n“The only voice that documents have is the voice we give them.With every document we find\, and every story we tell\, we have a choice:We can take what we see at face value\, report it devoid of context\, and run the risk of misrepresenting the circumstances.Or we can seek the context we need to understand the record\, the event\, and the person.” \n\n\n\n– Elizabeth Shown Mills \n\n\n\nYou can contact Liz Kutz\, the SIG leader at bestpractices@dallasgenealogy.org. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the Best Practices SIG. \n\n\n\n\nJOIN CALL
