Publisher Description: Almost fifty years ago, a great tragedy occurred in Dallas, Texas. In The Last Texas Town Welcomes JFK, this significant event becomes our story's backdrop, and the town of Ft. Worth becomes the story's hero. African American, Cub Scout James Thomas is a compelling narrator; he and his family permit readers to relive some of the glorious events preceding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. From their vantage point, a softer, child-centered, even ageless examination of history is allowed to emerge. |
