She joined the English department of what became the University of North Texas.[4]

Career

After going back to school in the late 1960s for a Ph.D. studying the role of African-American politicians in the Deep South during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, Brock taught history at Tarrant County College and Texas Woman’s University.[4]

She wrote an article on Jewish and Black Reconstruction Era Mississippi Secretary of Education Thomas W. Cardozo describing him as a scoundrel.[5][6]

She served three terms on the city council and was mayor of Denton from 2000 until 2006.[4]
