(AGENPARL) – BOSTON lun 01 maggio 2023
For the first time, the Texas Capitol Complex has named a building after a Black Texan, a decades-long politician known as a trailblazing lawmaker whose powerful speaking style captivated crowds.
The Barbara Jordan Building in Austin, a $260 million 12-story structure, will house the Texas Department of Insurance.
“Barbara Jordan’s impact on the state of Texas, and really the world, was tremendous and cannot be overstated,” state Sen. Royce West told The Houston Chronicle. West, who represents Dallas, helped lead the campaign to name the building after Jordan.
