Since August is both National Black Business Month and Black August—a month of reflection, resistance, and remembrance—the San Antonio Black History Tours invites you to take part in a one-of-a-kind historical and cultural experience.

Join us for the Black History Bus Tour, an immersive journey across San Antonio’s East Side and beyond, where you'll explore the untold stories of Black resilience, civil rights activism, cultural legacy, and Black enterprise. This powerful tour will highlight legendary leaders like Rev. Claude Black, Artemisia Bowden, and Charles Bellinger, while also stopping at a local Black-owned businesses that are carrying the torch forward today.

Expect:

* Guided storytelling with cultural historians

* Visit historic sites and educational landmarks

* Learn about and support Black-owned businesses

This is more than a tour—it's a call to remember, a reason to celebrate, and a chance to build community.

🚌 This experience is being brought to you by Melaneyes Media, the producers of "Walk on the River: A Black History of the Alamo City."

Please arrive 30 min before the scheduled time as we will be leaving exactly at the time of the scheduled trip . Parking will be available at the Carver branch Library. This is where we will meet to load onto the chartered bus.

As we tour the city, we will explain the history and cultural significance of the places we visit. This Historic Bus Tour is a result of the information and history revealed in the documentary film "Walk on the River."and was organized at the request of many of our supporters.

As the city grows and changes, as the “Eastside” (historically considered the Black side of town) becomes more gentrified, as historical locations and landmarks are being demolished or forgotten- we are doing our best to help preserve our own history and tell our own story.

The tour will take place on a modern 56 passenger charter bus which includes the following amenities:

• Unobstructed View of Scenery
• Tinted Windows
• Controlled Climate System
• Reclining Seats and Footrest
• Individual Seat Lighting
• On-Board Restroom Facilities
• Overhead Storage for Carry-On Items
• 110 Electrical Outlets
