TPR Remembers:  Black History Month


In celebration of Black History Month in San Antonio, we're joining the Carver Community Cultural Center, Gemini Ink, San Antonio Office of Cultural Affairs and others in presenting "TPR Remembers," a series of daily commentaries honoring African-Americans and their contributions and accomplishments.  Members of the San Antonio African-American community, along with other community leaders, will present the short pieces that will air daily throughout February.

For more information on Black History Month activities, visit The Carver's website.
