The \"Searchers\" never did that much searching, the \"Giants\" were hardly ever big in terms of character, and The Last Picture Show was just the beginning of a disturbing reveal. As acclaimed writer Stephen Harrigan suggests, the Lone Star state was not exactly a Big, Wonderful Thing, and, for too many Texans, nothing was ever \"Awright, Awright, Awright.\" A Black civil rights champion was assassinated in 1976 and the incident was buried. A Cowtown Catcher in the Rye was published in 1940, and the country club made it disappear. And the war machines of Hitler and Mussolini were perfected with Texas oil during the Spanish Civil War. Author E.R. Bills challenges his proud neighbors, earnestly asking them to take a hard look at their history and it's repercussions, and challenge their own historical amnesia, cultural fragility and fierce denial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e E.
