3. Just north of Dallas. Part of the Metroplex.

4. So not way out in the boonies. Spose any of those whites go to Dallas First Baptist?

Jeffress church, the one Pence visited

I was in college in TX Fall 57-Spring 61. Crisswell was minister there then, an arch segregationist!

2. That's how white leaders in Texas handle issues, they walk away.

I've got good friends in McKinney.

This will be a story worth following. Thank you for posting.

5. My niece and her family lived in McKinney

for a few years. They hated it because of the right wingers and moved to Nevada.

6. Ugh. They want to be known as a modern city, but can't as long as they're holding on to racism
