Oscar DuConge was chosen as Waco’s first Black mayor in 1974 amid social change, and he served until 1975.
His legacy is celebrated with a park dedication in 2021 that underscores his commitment to unity and community service.
Firefighters from Robinson Volunteer Fire Department were deployed Monday to the Texas Panhandle due to high wildfire risk & local crews helped bolster the effort, aiming to prevent any significant outbreaks.
The response reflects ongoing vigilance to protect nearby communities.
