JOHN W. STORMONT LECTURE: The Texas Lowcountry
Description
The public is invited to join VC's Museum of the Coastal Bend for a John W. Stormont Lecture titled "The Texas Lowcountry" presented by Dr. John R. Lundberg, Professor of History at Tarrant County College South and Associate Editor of the East Texas Historical Journal.
Dr. Lundberg will discuss his new book, "The Texas Lowcountry: Slavery and Freedom on the Gulf Coast, 1822–1895." Lundberg examines slavery and reconstruction in a region of Texas he terms "the lowcountry" —an area encompassing the lower reaches of the Brazos and Colorado Rivers and their tributaries as they wend their way toward the Gulf of Mexico through what is today Brazoria, Fort Bend, Matagorda, and Wharton Counties.
View more information about Dr. Lundberg's book.
The John W. Stormont Lecture Series is free and open to the public.
