The song heard at the beginning and end of this episode is "Forever" by the great Mando Salas, THL's newest spotlight artist.

Mando Salas is a Texas Country musician and a Del Rio, Texas native. Performing under the band name Rosmand, Mando incorporates his roots into his songwriting and he has a great, distinctive voice that conveys a lot of feeling. When he sings about love, you can feel it and when he sings about loss and pain, you feel it.  Mando started his live music career began back in 2015 – and in 2016 he recorded his first single “Devil's River."  In July of 2018 he released a single titled “How It Goes” which was his first song to hit Texas Radio. “How It Goes” is a song that is also featured on his debut album “Forever” which was released August 2018. . And the great news is that Mando is currently working on his second album. I’ll let you know when its available. But for now, go to Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Youtube, or wherever and listen to everything he has released. I guarantee that many of you are going to find a new favorite artist to love.

On this episode of This Month In Texas History we change things up a little bit. We still take a look at many events in the many June's of Texas history, including the founding of San Juan Bautista, the mother of Texas missions; Spain's declaration of war during the American Revolution; the Second Battle of Adobe Walls; and the discovery of the Corsicana oil and gas field. Then we highlight June 19, 1865 and June 15, 1921. We celebrate both Juneteenth and the amazing but brief life of Bessie Coleman, a pioneer in aviation and in civil rights.
