Préservation du patrimoine afro-américain
INITIATIVE DU PATRIMOINE AFRO-AMÉRICAIN
L'Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) a lancé un projet pour préserver l'héritage afro-américain de San Antonio. Le projet comprend l'élaboration d'un énoncé du contexte culturel afro-américain. Le projet comprend également une enquête sur les ressources historiques. Le projet identifiera les lieux, les événements et les personnes importants. Il identifiera également le patrimoine immatériel. Le patrimoine immatériel comprend les aliments, les chansons, les danses, les festivals et la spiritualité. L'engagement communautaire est la clé du projet. Une cartographie culturelle et des histoires orales seront réalisées. Le travail se traduira par des expositions et des désignations pour préserver et promouvoir le patrimoine afro-américain.
Cette initiative est rendue possible grâce au généreux financement de la Texas Historical Commission, du National Park Service, de la Conservation Society of San Antonio et de nombreux services en nature de partenaires communautaires.

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.
