In We’ve Got To Try, O’Rourke shines a spotlight on the heroic life and work of Dr. Lawrence Aaron Nixon and the west Texas town where he made his stand. The son of an enslaved man, Nixon grew up in the Confederate stronghold of Marshall, Texas before moving to El Paso, becoming a civil rights leader, and helping to win one of the most significant civil and voting rights victories in American history: the defeat of the all-white primary. His fight for the ballot spanned 20 years and twice took him to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Texas History I was never taught
Revisado: 08-26-22
As an only -parent, I write this review while my kiddo switches the laundry.
I’m not surprised by all of the untold history lessons Beto has experienced while traveling our state. I’m glad he has shared these experiences. Most of us would never have known.
Glad the book isn’t about him, and is more about us.
