Join SAAACAM on June 22nd from 10am-1pm at 430 North Cherry St, as we proudly display some of the works from this year’s Black History Conference.
Methods of Historical Research is a senior seminar course required of every History major at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. Students spend the semester learning about the historian’s craft by doing it themselves. This semester, Dr. Philis Barragán Goetz taught a section of Methods in collaboration with the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum. Students chose from a list of topics related to Black history in Bexar County, focusing on the social, cultural, and political dimensions of African Americans’ experiences.
With a generous grant from Texas A&M-San Antonio’s President’s Office and funding and support from the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum, the Black History in San Antonio conference showcased the Methods students’ research.
