The Sierra Club (Alamo Group) meets on the 3rd Tuesday of most months (excludes November and December) to discuss timely topics pertaining to the health of the natural and human environment. Always free and open to the public.

Meetings generally consist of a meet-and-greet followed by a presentation by an invited speaker, with discussion. Always informative and enjoyable!

Please join us for a lively discussion between two comadres, Violeta Garza-- author of Brava-- and Carmen Calatayud-- author of This Tangled Body and In The Company of Spirits. Conversation topics will range from getting published, to building community among other writers, to being unapologetically yourself, to whatever comes up spontaneously in the moment. There will be a Q&A, and Violeta will be available afterwards to sign copies of her book. Copies of Brava will be available for sale.

Explore MACRI’s new traveling exhibit, CISNEROS V. CORPUS CHRISTI ISD: THE LONG FIGHT TO END SCHOOL SEGREGATION.

In 1968, José Cisneros and twenty-five other Mexican American parents sued Corpus Christi Independent School District for illegally segregating Mexican American students into poorly maintained and under-resourced schools separate from Anglo schools. The court found that the school district was intentionally segregating students and ordered Corpus Christi ISD to integrate its schools. This landmark decision for Mexican American civil rights extended the same protections of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) to Mexican American students, nearly a quarter of a century later.

Learn about the history of Cisneros v. Corpus Christi ISD (1970), the people behind the case, and how it fits into larger legal struggles to improve Mexican American access to public education.

The exhibit will be on display from Saturday, September 27 to Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

The exhibit gallery will be open Monday through Friday, 10 AM—NOON and 1 - 4 PM, or by appointment.

MACRI's programs are funded in part by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture, Bexar County, the Mellon Foundation, the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation, Spurs Give, and individual donors like you! Gracias!
