Celebrate Tejano leaders at Oakwood Cemetery
Monday, July 22, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
The city’s parks department has a new online exhibit, “Unificar, to Unite,” which explores the history of Tejano organizations and their accomplishments in Texas. The stories of Tejano social justice leaders can be viewed online in English or Spanish. To celebrate the new exhibit, the city will also host a free workshop at the cemetery, at which contemporary Tejano community organizers “will conduct workshop sessions teaching attendees how to organize within their communities, leading discussions on advocacy, and sharing insights on working behind the scenes on social and political movements,” according to a press release from the city. The workshop will take place from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m Saturday, July 27. Register here.
