Jessica Velazquez published in TSHS journal
Northeast Texas Community College Presidential Scholar, Jessica Velazquez, was recently published in the 2016 issue of a statewide academic journal.†Touchstone, the annual publication of the Texas State Historical Society, chose Velazquez?s essay†?Farm Life in Transition? as one of the collegiate articles featured this year.
Her essay surveys agriculture in five counties in Texas from 1930 to 1960: Brazoria, Denton, Hidalgo, Lubbock, and Titus.† Even with each county representing a different section of Texas agriculture, Velazquez found some important similarities.
