David Griscom joins ORdio to talk about his book, The Myth of Red Texas, that reassesses the misconception that Texas has always been a blood-red state.
From fence-cutting cowboys to unionizing timberworkers to Mexican-American socialist pecan farmers, David traces the rich history of the Left in Texas. He shows how Texans' left-wing parties, from the populists to the socialists, organized against the Right and often won – and how reclaiming that tradition can help today's Left break the political deadlock in Texas and beyond.
We'll open with an excerpt from a live conversation between David and Emma Vigeland, of The Majority Report, at Francis Kite Club in New York City in late February.
