Last night Anthony Betters, Sr., Dr Pepper Museum Last night Anthony Betters, Sr., Dr Pepper Museum Board Chair; Chris Dyer, Dr Pepper Museum President & CEO; and Joy Summar- Smith, Dr Pepper Museum Associate Director accepted the Excellence in Preserving History award for our Sit Down to Take a Stand Waco Lunch Counter exhibit from @txhistcomm. We are honored to receive this award presented by The Texas Historical Commission. These awards recognize worthy accomplishments and exemplary leadership in the preservation of Texas' heritage. ⠀
Earlier yesterday, Betters, Summar-Smith, and Dr. Stephen Sloan, Associate Professor of History at Baylor University, had the pleasure of speaking at the Real Places Conference in Austin, Texas about Sit Down to Take a Stand. Real Places "preserves and promotes historic resources for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations—to share Texas's story through place-based educational opportunities, enhance the visitor experience to historic locations, and empower the preservation community through technical training and mentoring."⠀
 ⠀
Sit Down to Take a Stand is an interactive experience about the sit-ins in soda fountains and lunch counters in Waco and across the south in the 1960s.⠀
