How would you describe Texas to all the non-Texans in the world? We believe our stateâs official anthem, appropriately titled âTexas, Our Texas,â says it best: âBoldest and grandest, Withstanding ev ry test / O Empire wide and glorious, You stand supremely blest.â (Fun fact: those lyrics used to be âlargest and grandest,â that is until pesky Alaska joined the union.)
Yes, we Texans love our state, never more so than on March 2, when we celebrate the adoption of our Declaration of Independence from Mexico back in 1836. But how can we celebrate while weâre still in a pandemic? Donât worry, dear reader, because like a Western hero weâre here to save the day. Weâve rounded up five in-person and virtual ways for you to flaunt your Texas pride (and learn some history, too!) today, tomorrow, for the rest of your life.Â
