Title
Eastside Churches in the Civil Rights Movement
Description
This project explores the Civil Rights movement through the lens of religious institutions on the Eastside of San Antonio, a historically black section of the city. The people of San Antonio fought and experienced the fight for equality from a variety of perspectives. Mexican American Rights activism is often at the forefront of our conversations about Civil Rights in San Antonio, partly due to demographics. While San Antonio is a majority Mexican Americans and Latinos, African American Civil Rights activism played a significant role in San Antonio's history.
