Students explain some of the problems faced by Tejanos and African Americans in Texas. Then they analyze a short passage to determine if it is fact or legend. Finally, they elaborate on the value of primary source material to our knowledge of life in Texas. Note that there is no quiz at the end of this experience. Objectives:Overview
