Tony and the Nuestra Palabra crew strike at the heart of the Hill Country for free speech, the right to educate our children, and embracing folks, not erasing folks.
The Launch of the Underground Librotraficante Library in Fredericksburg Texas is an expansion of people's right to education and self determination in the pursuit of knowledge.
