Brown Bag Lecture: Allie Tennant; Presented by Light Cummins, PhD

At the Hall of State in Fair Park, a sculpture of a Native American figure, bronze with gilded gold leaf, strains a bow before sending an arrow into flight. Tejas Warrior has welcomed thousands of visitors since the Texas Centennial Exposition opened in the 1930s.
