The San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM) is a nonprofit in San Antonio working to save and share the stories of African descendants across San Antonio and the Southwest -history that's often been left out of the public record.
They do this in a grassroots, community-led way: helping families preserve photos, documents and memories; recording oral histories; and building a digital archive and museum exhibits so these stories are accessible for education and the public.
Their work makes the region's history more complete by adding an African American lens to the broader San Antonio story, from Spanish colonial days through the Texas Republic and beyond.
