St. Mary's Student Life Through the Rattler

The aim of this digital exhibit is to provide context of student life at St. Mary’s. With the use of the Rattler archives as my primary source material, I found that what students care about hasn’t changed much. How students express themselves and their pastimes has changed, but many of the same issues such as campus safety and social justice have remained the same across generations.
Eastside Churches in the Civil Rights Movement

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.
