| OUR FEATURED SPEAKER Rusty Williams Author, Rusty Williams will talk about his latest book, About Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash. He will share the only-in-Texas stories of the ten special individuals whose words and accomplishments defined Texas in the mid-twentieth century. If you’ve ever wondered how Texans gained a reputation for being oversized, cocky, self-promotional, sports-crazy, and too rich for their own good, Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash! Ten unique Texans, people who — through their accomplishments, actions, and words — gained national attention between 1925 and 1950. These individuals painted an indelible picture of the Lone Star State that continues to percolate throughout the nation’s popular culture today. Even if you’re not a Texan, you’ll be fascinated with the stories of these mavericks and how they branded the Lone Star State with its lasting reputation for being loud, proud, and brash. Rusty began his career as a newswriter and has written for The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, San Antonio Express-News and Associated Press. He currently lives in Dallas, where he writes books, contributes articles to history magazines, journals and websites, and speaks to groups on historical subjects. |
