West Texas Roots is KACU’s oral history project which collects the stories of individuals and families of West Texas. These are stories that help paint a picture of the building/founding of West Texas as well as recalling other moments of the region’s unique history.
West Texas Roots is made possible in part by a grant from the Doctor Paula Windham Fund for Education and Community Development—through the Community Foundation of Abilene. And from a Gift from the Doris Miller and Don Fitzgibbons Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation of Abilene.
