This was reinforced by the fact that many counties taught those and other heritage languages in the public schools until effectively ended by anti-German hysteria and resurrection of the KKK in the WWI era. The initiatives for bilingual education and ballot translations some 50 years later were thus less of an innovation than a return to a 19th century tradition. \nThe presentation will be on Tuesday\, 10/13 at 7:00 p.m. \nThe link – https://tsha.wildapricot.org/event-6771664 – will also be posted at the German Texan Heritage Society’s site – https://www.germantexans.org/speaker-series – under Programs and Speaker Series.
