Walk on the River: A Black History of the Alamo City
When: Tue., Oct. 23, 7-9:30 p.m. 2018
A Screening of 'Walk on the River: A Black History of San Antonio' will be held at the Arneson River Theatre.
In this independent film, local filmmakers have taken the time to document both the history and the contributions African-Americans have made to the fabric of San Antonio, Texas, from Emancipation to the Civil Rights movement. The film chronicles the path of freed Blacks establishing communities, churches and schools in the 1800’s to thriving Black-owned businesses that flourished during the Jim Crow era.
