Description
Culture is a fundamental role in human society. Through culture, people, and even cities, form cultural identities. The City of San Antonio is creating cultural context statements for the city’s many cultures. The first context statement, due to a generous grant, will be on African American culture. This second session follows where we left off—San Antonio’s African American heritage in the early 20th century. The session will cover music, art, and celebrations, as well sunset laws, politics, civil rights, and school desegregation. We’ll learn the personal histories, and little known stories, of key African Americans who changed San Antonio and the nation. Attendees will be provided with a draft copy of the African American Cultural Context statement.
