Don Frazier provided an entertaining and informative program on Texas history and the 1836 project. Don is the director of the Texas Center at Schreiner University, whose mission is to help students and the general population learn and appreciate Texas history, culture and people.
 
 
Don was appointed to the 1836 Project by Governor Greg Abbott. This project goal is a "presentation of the history of this state’s founding and foundational principles; examination of how this state has grown closer to those principles throughout its history; and explanation of why commitment to those principles is beneficial and justified.”
 
In addition to Texas' fight for independence from Mexico and entry into the Union, there will be some additional historical topics that will be part of the project, including indigenous people, the state’s Spanish and Mexican heritage, Tejanos and Juneteenth.  A "long read" brochure will be produced that tells the story of Texas, and it will be provided for anyone who gets a Texas Driver's License. The project information will also be available to Texas agencies, historical parks and museums.
 
Don is passionate about educating people on what makes Texas unique, and presents a wealth of historical and cultural information in his presentations.
