\n In 1961 John Steinbeck referred to Texas as \u201ca state of mind\u201d concerned with myths, ghosts, and glittering self-imaginings that had more to do with desire than fact. He was not far off the mark. From the beginning of Texas as a place, insiders and outsiders have argued over what it is, how it came to be, and why. Blanton\u2019s talk examines how a few key, public moments of Texas history\u2014debates over the republic and state\u2019s birth in the 1830s and 1840s, the tardy recognition of the Alamo\u2019s importance in the 1900s and 1910s, the obscure publication of an old Mexican diary in the 1980s and 1990s\u2014 and how they demonstrate that a broader, more public understanding of Texas history has nearly always been about the present as much as the past. This is important to remember today as allegations of \u201cwokeness\u201d in Texas history have become a force in state politics.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","contact_info":"
