Checking in on the progress of the 1836 Project. Fred Lucas writes:
The 1836 Project Advisory Committee will examine the glories of Texas history, as well as its “warts,” members said Wednesday at the first meeting of its nine-member advisory board.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation creating the committee in June. Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836.
In September, the governor appointed Kevin Roberts, then-president of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, to be its chairman. In October, Roberts was selected as president of The Heritage Foundation and assumed the post in December, but remained chairman of the Texas 1836 committee. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
