San Antonio’s population increased 20 percent in the years between 2000 and 2010. But the numbers of African-American residents has slightly decreased, making up only about 6 percent of the population. And yet, our city has the largest Martin Luther King Jr. march in the country.

Eileen Pace talks with some of our community’s most prominent leaders from the black community to get answers to some of those questions.
