Center for the humanities. Event occurred in dallas. Since the pandemic has begun, for our purposes, since we shut down in march, they thing that thing that has been driving our analysis here as historians is what is the historical precedent .

So for younger americans, and for International Tours of all ages, for route 66 it was only something they made a part about.
