In this episode we look at the life of Johanna July and her people, the Black Seminoles. Johanna July was an amazing person, tough, intelligent, and determined. She broke horses for the United States Army and her family fought in the Indian Wars on the Southern Plains and on the Border. From Florida, to Indian Territory, to Mexico and then to Texas, the Black Seminoles were fierce and free.

The Texas History Lessons Theme song, Walking Through History, was written and recorded by Derrick McClendon. You can preorder his new album, Interstate Daydreamer on February 14 and it will be released on March 5, 2022. Thank you Derrick! Twitter: @dmclendonmusic
