Ysleta del Sur Pueblo?The History of the Church of the South

?We believe that in order to know who you are, you need to know where you come from.? ?Y"sleta del Sur Pueblo: Walking in the Footsteps of our Ancestors "

The story of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo spans generations. It is the story of the perseverance and determination of the Tigua Indians, whose community at Ysleta del Sur Pueblo represents the oldest community in Texas and whose governing body, the Tigua Tribal Council, endures as the oldest government in the state. The history of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in Texas began as tensions in New Mexico between the colonizing Spanish and the Pueblo Indians reached a breaking point.

*Join us as we host Rick Quezada, Director of Cultural Preservation for the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, as he helps us understand the story of this community and its vital importance in the history of Texas.*

Make Do and Be Merry: A Chocolate Cake for a Homefront Christmas

Christmas for wartime homemakers was full of challenges. One of the biggest was Christmas dinner. Food rationing, especially refined sugar, meant that Christmas dinner would look very different from an idealized Rockwell painting. So what was a homemaker to do?

Armed with the new field of nutritional science and years of make-do during the Great Depression, women adapted recipes to bring their families? favorite dishes to the Christmas table. In this presentation, Margo McCutcheon (educator at Sam Rayburn House SHS) and Jennifer Parsley (educator at Eisenhower Birthplace SHS) will explore how two 1940s-era chocolate cake recipes approached the challenges of rationing as homemakers made do to bring Christmas to their holiday table.

***Date*: **Thursday, December 1, 6 p.m. Central**

The Green Book and HBCUs in Texas

Back during the modern Jim Crow era, African Americans endured discriminatory hazards while traveling around the country. To circumnavigate these unwelcome situations, they used various travel guides to locate where they could purchase gas, get a haircut, buy a meal, sleep for the night, or enjoy some entertainment. Probably the most well-known one is The Negro Motorist Green Book, or more commonly known as the Green Book.

Based on 34 African American travel guides that include 43 Texas communities, THC?s Historic Resources Survey Coordinator Leslie Wolfenden has been researching and documenting over 780 sites [ [link removed] ]. Several interns have assisted her over the years, including one of the most recent Preservation Scholars [ [link removed] ], Daniele Dixon. During summer of 2022, Dixon explored what have become known as historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Join us for a virtual presentation and discussion with Wolfenden and Dixon about their research into HBCUs in Texas.
