DREAMWEEK

A woman from Iran says she "feels really honored" to sing the national anthem at the DreamWeek Gala in San Antonio

It’s our MLK Day of Service Show! We’re highlighting black-owned, local businesses and events featured throughout the year on SA Live.

DreamWeek has more than 200 programs during its 17-day citywide summit focusing on tolerance, diversity and equality, as well as civil and civic engagement.

The exhibit curated by Barbara Felix and presented by the City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture is free and open to the public starting January 19 through November 17, 2023.

Shokare Nakpodia was deeply involved in what it took to stage the event that is now said to be the largest MLK Jr. March in the nation.

Dream Week is known for creating an environment for discussion to promote equality, diversity, and tolerance, but one event is striking a chord with some in San Antonio.

Port San Antonio is using DreamWeek’s initiative to help spark innovation.

City leaders will kick off the day’s events in a press conference at 9:30 a.m. on Monday followed by a virtual march.

Despite cancellations due to COVID-19, there are still ways to commemorate the holiday and the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

However, Deborah Omowale Jarmon, the Executive Director of the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum, says the trailblazing stories of people of color -- have been historically harder to find. It’s why SAAACAM is hosting a tour in Eastview Cemetery on Saturday of local African American historical icons and the impact they made in the community. “They can expect a safe, socially-distanced tour,” Jarmon said. She was one of the founders of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, establishing the local chapter in San Antonio.
