For the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum, the goal is simple: to “collect, preserve, and share” African American history that may often go untold.
The museum’s new space at La Villita and a new boat tour on the River Walk will help them in that mission.
On Saturday, the new Black History Tour focused on “one hour of rich history” will cruise the River Walk, Jarmon said. “We want to make sure that all the history is told,” Jarmon said. “History needs to tell the truth, and not just for African Americans, but for everyone, and typically people of color, our history has not been a part of the story because we didn’t write the books.”at least 160 Confederate statues and symbols were taken down
The opening exhibit in the rotating gallery, called “SNAP,” will document Eugene Coleman, who co-founded the “SNAP” magazine that served the African American community. SAAACAM will also have a spring day camp for 5th-6th graders on March 8-12, and will debut a passport for kids that will connect museums along the river and the exhibit at the Carver Community Cultural Center.
“When I Rise,” a film about Barbara Smith Conrad, who attended the University of Texas at Austin as a music student and was expelled from an opera, will be shown in March for Women’s History Month.

During San Antonio show, Anthrax showed why it's still a metal powerhouse after 40 yearsNew York City thrash-metal legends Anthrax celebrated their 40th anniversary Friday night with an all-cylinders-firing tour stop at San Antonio’s Boeing Center at Tech Port. Comrades Black Label Society and Exodus offered able support.If there’s one thing a band should be able to do after 40 years, it’s bring consistency. And Anthrax delivered on that front, flooring the crowd with high-energy performances of its best-known tunes. The high-energy set drove home a reminder why the group remains one of metal’s top legacy acts.Prior to its first song, Anthrax projected a career-spanning video onto the curtain shrouding the stage. In the clip, a parade of luminaries praising the band, from the expected (Corey Taylor, Kerry King) to the unexpected (Lady Gaga! Keanu Reeves!). The footage reinforced the theme that the members of Anthrax truly enjoy themselves when performing, as evidenced by the goofy sense of fun the group mixes with its metal. While initially fun, the celebrity testimonials quickly wore out their welcome.Finally, Anthrax appeared behind the curtain. The silhouettes of guitarist Scott Ian and drummer Charlie Benante towered over the stage, appropriate since they’re heart of the band. As the strains of “Among the Living” rang through the crowd, the curtain dropped, and the thrashing began.By the time vocalist Joey Belladonna strode onstage and began belting out the lyrics — inspired by Stephen King’s pandemic apocalypse The Stand — there was no doubt who owned the evening. Shit was on, and the energy never flagged.Belladonna even displayed the same ‘do that he did in the ’80s. The man has kept it consistent.Anthrax played in front of a backdrop incorporating cover art from each of its albums. Even so, the majority of the setlist drew from the band’s classic era, which ended after 1990’s Persistence of Time and the firing of Belladonna — his current stint with the band, which began in 2010, is his third.
