Denton Public Library Hosts Texas Latino Voices Program
Denton, TX -
Join the Denton Public Library as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
Author and historian David Romo will read from his works and discuss
Texas Latino literature. The event will be at the Emily Fowler Central
Library on September 15th at 3:00 PM. There will be a reception
following the presentation. This event is free and open to the public.
Mr. Romo is the author of Ringside Seat to a Revolution: An Underground
Cultural History of El Paso and Juarez, 1893-1923. This history helps to
define fronterizos, a hybrid group of people-not wholly Mexican, not
wholly American-who played an essential role in launching the Mexican
Revolution. David Dorado Romo is a micro-historian who gives new eyes
and a re-imagined perspective to these revolutionary years.
This presentation is one of a series in the Texas Latino Voices
programs to be presented by the Texas Center for the Book and the Denton
and Abilene Public Libraries and the Brownsville historical Association
with Brownsville Public Library. This program is made possible in part
by a donation from Humanities Texas, a state partner of the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
