Walk on the River 2.0: The African Influence in SATX - Film Screening

Join us for an online screening of “Walk on the River 2.0: The African Influence in San Antonio, TX.”

As the first civil settlement in the state of Texas, there are a ton of historical sites and legendary tales that have helped to shape the culture of our community. In the original documentary film Walk on the River: A Black History of the Alamo City we shared the African American experience from the time of Emancipation (roughly 1865) to Integration and the end of Jim Crow segregation (roughly 1965).

In this second installment, Walk on the River 2.0 we speak about the presence and influence people of African descent have had in this area before and during enslavement, including:

• The African Presence in the Americas before Columbus
• The Moors in Spain
• Blacks at the Battle of the Alamo
• Slavery in San Antonio
• Emancipation Celebrations in Texas (Juneteenth)
• African Symbols in the city… and more
