(AGENPARL) – BOSTON lun 24 aprile 2023
In a mostly joyful but sometimes poignant ceremony late Monday afternoon, several Texas lawmakers and members of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority dedicated the Barbara Jordan State Office Building, the first such building named for a Black Texan.
The 12-story, 416,000-square-foot glass and granite structure rising 180 feet a block north of the Texas Capitol anchors an emerging pedestrian mall connecting the University of Texas to the seat of state government. Jordan, a former state senator and congresswoman, was recognized as a pace-setter and revered icon for Black women in Texas and across the nation.
