Also, while examining the roll call vote for the [https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/67-2/h169 Dyer anti-lynching bill of 1922], I'm noticing that the Texas congressional delegation consisted of a lone Republican, Harry Wurzbach, who voted ''yea''. Maybe we can collaborate in creating a CP article on him? Sounds like an interesting political figure.

However, that's about the most I can find for this specific area in terms of his congressional tenure. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code><span style="color:black; background:#FFABAB">'''LT'''</span></code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|<sup>May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!</sup>]]''''' Sunday, 11:33, August 8, 2021 (EDT)
