Call for Recipes & Their Stories!

“It was very pleasant to savor its aroma, for smells have the power to evoke the past, bringing back sounds and even other smells that have no match in the present. -Tita”
― Laura Esquivel

Picture this:

It’s holiday season at Grandma’s house, the sun is shining bright, there’s a sweet aroma of tenderness in the air. What does that look like to you? What does that smell like to you? We want to hear about your Family Traditions and where they originated from.

We take great pride in representing our collective stories. Because we are a community driven and focused institution, we depend on you to contribute to our success. We are excited to begin this journey with you to add your family traditions to the community archive. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Community Curation Director, Claudia Espinosa, via email at curator@saaacam.org. Thank you for your interested in contributing your family history/tradition to the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum.
