Visual History Meets Oral History,
By Linda Wolfe Keister (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Texas Family: An Uncommon Journey to Prosperity (Voices of America: Texas) (Hardcover)
Family history takes on new meaning in Rick and Ronda Hyman's "My Texas Family: An Uncommon Journey to Prosperity." Inspired by a collection of 300 black and white photos from the early 1900s, Rick Hyman has taken on the task of painting each photo, not as a reproduction, but as a representation of the family he has known and whose history he has heard from childhood. With his wife Ronda, he has compiled the family history in this book, using some of the photos and paintings. This history, however, is more than Rick Hyman's family history. It is a slice of history that coincides with the Harlem Renaissance. But it is not a history of finery, furs, and fancy clubs. It is a history of prosperity that takes place far from the lights of Harlem, in the heat of the South, where former slaves took opportunity by the horns and carved out a niche of success on their Texas land.
