Tour through local cemetery highlights trailblazing African Americans in San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO โ Everyone has a story. 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. Itโs 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. โThey can expect a safe, socially-distanced tour,โ Jarmon said. She was one of the founders of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, establishing the local chapter in San Antonio.
