Two Familes, One Name

Two central Texas families from vastly different backgrounds share a last name: Tomlinson. We’ll talk this hour with Chris Tomlinson about the intersecting histories of these two families, which begins on a cotton plantation 150 years ago. He traces his family’s story in Tomlinson Hill: The Remarkable Story of Two Families who Share the Tomlinson Name – One White, One Black (Thomas Dunne Books).
