New in the Texas Observer: Saving Black Gospel Recordings
Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 20, 2007 -- The latest issue of The Texas Observer tells how historic black gospel recordings are in danger of being lost and one man's campaign to save them.
Robert Darden, a former Billboard gospel music editor turned professor of journalism at Baylor University, has started the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project. Michael Hoinski talks with Darden about his work, a task so difficult and lengthy that it will likely outlive Darden himself.

Feature - Letters from prison
When convicts enter the prison system, they enter a world beyond the comprehension of civilians. This issue features two submissions from prisoners serving time in state prisons. Both convicted to long term sentences, these men write with eloquence, poetry, and anger about their unseen lives and about the paths that lead them to incarceration. Photographs by Alan Pogue.

Editorial: Break the Chain
More than 700,000 Texans are either behind bars or on probation. If state leaders and prison officials consciously set out to create the least effective, most destructive, fiscally unsound prison system possible, they probably couldn't match the irrationality of the Texas model.

Section 102 gives the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security unprecedented power to suspend any law that stands in the way of building a wall along the border. Privatization Pains The walking wounded gathered in a small town north of Houston, on October 27. They weren't soldiers, but representatives of military contractors in Iraq who feel they aren't receiving the medical treatment and disability benefits they deserve. Home Alone State Sen. Eliot Shapleigh (D-El Paso) calls it an approaching tsunami. In 2008, more than $300 billion worth of volatile subprime home loans will spike to higher interest rates nationwide, and a torrent of foreclosures will likely follow. In Texas, the effect may be severe.
