NOWHERE BUT TEXAS 2 SHARES STORIES OF TEXAS SPIRIT AND TEXAS PAST DALLAS/FORT WORTH: Country music at the Big D Jamboree, women pilots who flew for the Air Force generations before they were accepted members of the military and a group of fatherless boys from Fort Worth who raised the visibility of high school football and the spirits of the nation during the Great Depression.

These are the stories presented in Nowhere But Texas 2, KERA’s second collection of extraordinary stories about ordinary Texans. Nowhere But Texas 2 airs at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 9, 2008 on KERA-TV and continues in the tradition of celebrating the innovation and imagination of the bold Texas spirit. The program will rebroadcast at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, September 13, 2008.
