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.

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.
