State Rep. Jay Dean to Address Davidson Foundation on Sept. 20
URGENT UPDATE: State Rep. Jay Dean is set to speak at the annual fall meeting of the T. Whitfield Davidson Foundation on September 20, 2023, in Harleton, Texas. The event, which begins at 11 a.m., is open to the public and will be held at the historic Josephine Davidson Memorial Chapel.
This meeting promises to draw attention as Dean, who represents District 7 encompassing Harrison, Gregg, and Marion counties, discusses key issues affecting the community. Following his address, attendees will enjoy a complimentary catered lunch on the chapel grounds, fostering community engagement and discussion.
The Josephine Davidson Memorial Chapel, located on a scenic country road between Harleton and Gilmer, honors the legacy of the late Judge T. Whitfield Davidson. A notable figure in Texas history, Davidson was a self-educated jurist who challenged the Ku Klux Klan’s influence in the 1920s. His commitment to justice and community values is reflected in the foundation’s mission: to uphold his memory and promote civic education through public gatherings.
The Davidson Foundation organizes two significant events each year at the chapel, with the fall meeting dedicated to speakers “learned in the Constitution and laws of the land.” This year’s meeting is particularly timely as it provides a platform for Dean to share insights and updates on pressing legislative matters.
To attend, follow these directions: From Marshall, head north on Texas 154, turn onto FM 450 North, and continue until you reach Davidson Road. For those coming from Gilmer or Longview, similar routes are advised. Clear signage will guide attendees to the chapel.
This event not only honors a historical figure but also serves as a vital opportunity for community members to engage with their representatives. The foundation emphasizes the importance of civic involvement, making this a must-attend gathering for anyone interested in local governance and community issues.
Don’t miss this chance to hear from State Rep. Jay Dean and participate in a meaningful dialogue about the future of our communities. Mark your calendars for September 20 and join fellow residents at the Josephine Davidson Memorial Chapel at 11 a.m..
