San Antonio Honors Black History

San Antonio honors Black history.

Celebrating Resilience and Achievement

San Antonio’s rich tapestry of Black history is a testament to resilience and achievement. From trailblazing African American leaders who have shaped the city’s trajectory to their enduring contributions across various fields, San Antonio stands as a beacon of inspiration. This month, we celebrate not just our past, but also our present and future potential.

History — her story, his story, our story — is essential to the present and vital to the future. History is a tool. The more we know our history, the better we are able to move forward in creative and enriching ways for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
