SUMMARY:Texas America250
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAs the country celebrates 250 years since the signing of 
 the Declaration of Independence\, every state has a story to tell about its 
 own contributions to the development of the nation. Texas pride permeates 
 our culture here at home\, and we are always eager to promote the state’s 
 people\, products\, landscape\, innovations\, and works of art beyond our 
 borders\, showing how the Lone Star State has contributed to the legacy of 
 America. \n\n\n\nThe Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC)'s 
 Texas America250 exhibit will spotlight some of the areas where Texans’ 
 contributions shine especially bright—true Texas icons that remind all 
 Americans of the 28th state. From cowboys to astronauts\, from Beaumont to 
 Big Bend\, the country would not be what it has become without Texas. Our 
 famously independent and loudly proud state also contributes its own unique 
 history to the broader\, unfolding American story. Texas-specific 
 commemorations such as the 1936 Texas Centennial marking 100 years of 
 independence and 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial remain landmark moments in the 
 state’s history.\n\nTexans of all ages are invited to join TSLAC’s 
 statewide Texas America250 Reading Challenge. Learn more about nationwide 
 celebrations at america250.org.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nCHECK OUT OUR
