To celebrate our most famous early graduate, Texas A&M-Commerce organized the Sam Rayburn Symposium from 1975 to 2001. In 2011, we return to this tradition--remembering Sam Rayburn on the 50th anniversary of his stepping down from service as US Speaker of the House.

Learn more about themes and speakers at Sam Rayburn Symposium from 1975-2001 here.

    Much of Writing Democracy's framework emerged from Shannon Carter's (Texas A&M-Commerce) collaborations with co-organizer Deborah Mutnick (Long Island University-Brooklyn) and others involved with this work. With the endlessly creative Susan Stewart (Texas A&M-Commerce), Shannon worked with Deborah to develop the project that became Writing Democracy.

    Deborah has been tireless in her efforts to engage a new Federal Writers' Project for the 21st century. Shannon has appreciated the opportunity to help bring together the first organized forum in what we hope will be a long line of similar events.
