African American Heritage Preservation
AFRICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE INITIATIVE
Ang Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) ay naglunsad ng isang proyekto upang mapanatili ang African American na pamana ng San Antonio. Kasama sa proyekto ang pagbuo ng isang African American Cultural Context Statement. Kasama rin sa proyekto ang isang survey ng mga makasaysayang mapagkukunan. Tutukuyin ng proyekto ang mahahalagang lugar, kaganapan, at tao. Tutukuyin din nito ang intangible heritage. Kasama sa hindi nasasalat na pamana ang mga pagkain, kanta, sayaw, pagdiriwang, at espirituwalidad. Ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa komunidad ay susi sa proyekto. Isasagawa ang cultural mapping at oral history. Ang gawain ay magreresulta sa mga eksibit at pagtatalaga upang mapanatili at itaguyod ang pamana ng African American.
Ang inisyatiba na ito ay ginawang posible sa masaganang pagpopondo mula sa Texas Historical Commission, The National Park Service, Conservation Society of San Antonio, at maraming in-kind na serbisyo mula sa mga kasosyo sa komunidad.

San Antonio Black and African American Cultural Context Statement
The African American and Black Cultural Context Statement is a tool and a resource to help the community, researchers, and preservationists identify important places, events, and forms of intangible heritage such as music, songs, dances, spirituality, festivals, even parade routes. Cultural context statements also help make decisions about preserving cultural heritage. This work will result in local landmark designations, National Register listings, historic markers, and other forms of commemoration.
Graphic Novel: “A Home, a Church, and a Hospital: The Development of East San Antonio”
The graphic novel tells the story of how Charles Bellinger, Greater Corinth Baptist Church, and two nurses helped to shape the Eastside and contributed to San Antonio’s African American history.
The context statement and the graphic novel are a part of the African American Heritage Preservation Initiative. This initiative is a multi-year initiative aiming to identify, promote, and preserve San Antonio’s African American cultural heritage through community collaboration, surveying historically African American neighborhoods, and thoughtful, thorough research.
At the event there will be a presentation as well as light refreshments.
Thanks for your interest! Registration is closed because the event has concluded.
