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. From the first Black surgeon to the discovery of ruins of the first St. James African American Methodist Episcopal church along San Pedro Creek to connections to the Seminole Native American Tribe, this presentation will tell the stories of the African American experience in San Antonio including a national and transnational perspective.
