American Violet in Hearne last night; Waco Tonight!
Last night was an interesting and unique night. Along with about 50-some others, I traveled down to Hearne for the showing of American Violet at the town where most of the events shown in the movie actually occurred.

Tonight, American Violet will show at the Mayborn Museum at 7:30, free. After the screening, I will lead a discussion with my former student David Moore and Will Patton, who plays him in the the movie. You may remember Will Patton from this scene:
