“The mission of the Battle of Flowers Association is to teach the history of Texas, and I think it’s important to tell the stories of journalists in Texas and how significant they were in informing our history. In the early days, pioneers brought printing presses down the Mississippi on boats and then loaded them onto wagons to go overland,” said Helen Eversberg, chairman of the BOF’s Oratorical Contest committee.
