Rooted in empathy and experience, heart and talent, our exhibition MUSES celebrates the enduring power of human creativity. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the creative industry, this show affirms that design is more than simply output.

Harold Rich Talk Instagram Post

Fort Worth from World War II to 1960

Saturday Jan 3 | 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Harold Rich’s Fort Worth from World War II to 1960 traces the city’s transformation during World War II, the postwar years, and the early Cold War, highlighting both progress and persistent challenges. Fort Worth experienced rapid economic growth in the 1940s, fueled by Convair’s arrival, but momentum slowed in the 1950s as police struggled with corruption, traffic demands, and widespread gambling and prostitution. The era was marked by a powerful criminal underworld, daring robberies, and the spread of illegal drug use, even as internal conflicts eventually dismantled many gangs. Meanwhile, the city developed modern infrastructure—industrialization, freeways, and cultural institutions—yet race relations saw little improvement until the 1960s, leaving the overall transition from a nineteenth-century to a twentieth-century city incomplete. Join us for this fascinating talk!

Harold Rich, a Fort Worth resident for seventy years, earned his PhD from Texas Christian University. He is the author of Fort Worth: Outpost, Cowtown, Boomtown (winner of the Al Lowman Award from the Texas State Historical Association) and Fort Worth between the World Wars, as well as articles in the East Texas Historical Journal and the West Texas Historical Review. Dr. Rich also worked at General Dynamics and is a retired Captain of the Fort Worth Police Department. A book sale and signing will follow the talk.

LMH’s XV: Cultura y Memorias

Friday Nov 7 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

La Mesa Hispanica has proudly served the Department of Spanish and Hispanic Studies for 15 years. We want to reflect on our achievements not only within the Spanish department but also in celebrating our growth beyond AddRan as we honor the Spanish-speaking community at TCU. To commemorate this milestone, we will host our own quinceañera, a traditional coming-of-age celebration. This event will provide us with an opportunity to thank our members and the TCU community as a whole. We aim to create a space for celebration that recognizes how far La Mesa Hispanica has come over the years, acknowledging the hard work of Spanish speakers on campus and the support we have received from various departments surrounding AddRan.
