Texas Gulf Historical & Biographical Record

Volume 57: 2021

Picture
After a long delays caused by COVID-19 disruptions, we present Volume 57. Within, Tina M. Kibbe examines the career of Beaumont physician Dr. Edward D. Sprott Jr. and his fight for African American civil rights and equal access to quality healthcare. Hope Flores—winner of the 2020 Johnson’s Editor Prize—shows how the effort to integrate public housing in Vidor, Texas, sparked national controversy and illustrated the need for reform. Herman L. McElroy Jr.—winner of the 2021 Johnson’s Editor Prize—argues that the killing of James “Mooney” Allen does not easily fit within traditional definitions of lynching in Texas and the United States. Finally, The Record staff offers a photo-essay documenting the day in 1907 when the Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Circus came to Beaumont.
