Texas Society Children of the American Revolution

2023-2024 "Liberty Lives in the Lone Star State"

The 2023-2024 T.S.C.A.R. project connected Texas kids to our American roots while providing in-person experiences for Texas students on the American Revolution. The project beneficiary, The Morris Family Center for Law & Liberty at Houston Christian University, brings the American Revolution to Texas through its engaging and hands-on educational opportunities. Opened on September 15, 2022, the facility includes a full-scale working replica of Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, as well as a connecting educational commons, where visitors can immerse themselves in the history and living legacy of our Nation’s founding documents: the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

T.S.C.A.R.’s nearly 1000 members spent the year learning more about how the Declaration of Independence and Constitution continue to shape our everyday lives, as well as the stories of our Nation’s Founders – some well-known, and others often unsung. Funds raised provided access and learning materials (a tricorn hat and pocket Constitution) to more than 1776 Texas students who visit The Morris Family Center for Law & Liberty, 250 classroom book sets on U.S. History, a lectern for the upstairs conference room in the Center, and 20 stick-ponies used in a learning exercise about Paul Revere's Ride.

2022-2023 "Ready and Forward"

The 2022-2023 T.S.C.A.R. Project recognizes an American legacy. It honors the significant valor, patriotism, and decades of service of the Buffalo Soldiers, while expanding educational opportunities offered through the Buffalo Soldier National Museum. 

Founded in Houston, in 2001 by U.S. Army Veteran and historian, Capt. Paul J. Matthews, the museum tells the story of the Buffalo Soldiers and the important history of African Americans in the U.S. Military. With the vision to extend public knowledge, the museum preserves, promotes, and perpetuates the history and traditions of the Buffalo Soldiers. Through performing and visual arts, educational programming, and exhibitions, the museum displays the Buffalo Soldiers valuable defense of America.

2021-2022 "Honoring Our Texas Lady"

Lady Bird Johnson wanted to improve the quality of life for others. She brilliantly used her national platform to illuminate the importance of racial acceptance and Civil Rights. She co-founded Project Head Start to assist underserved children, and she laid groundwork for the modern environmental movement by addressing more than 300 conservation measures passed into law during the Johnson Administration.

“Honoring our Texas Lady” seeks to teach about Mrs. Johnson’s life and lead by her example, motivating acts of kindness… whether the acts assist underserved citizens, provide to military-veteran community, show respect for diversity, or improve the environment. The goal is to make your community a better place – leave it better than you found it.

To further honor the legacy of Lady Bird Johnson, the 2021-2022 State Project benefited the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Community Partnership Program, which reduces fees for underserved youth and their families.
