Join us for 100 minutes of Black History on the beautiful San Antonio River. Our engaging tour guides will take you on a thought-provoking mental journey through time.

Experience San Antonio through the eyes of African American travelers during the Jim Crow era on SAAACAM’s Green Book Negro Motorist and Civil Rights Tour. This guided journey explores the Black-owned businesses and safe havens that once offered refuge, dignity, and community to travelers navigating a segregated nation. From hotels and cafés to beauty shops and service stations, you’ll uncover the places listed in Victor Hugo Green’s famed Negro Motorist Green Book and other travel guides from the 1930s to 1960s. As you walk the historic streets, you’ll hear the powerful stories behind these landmarks—and the courageous individuals who made mobility and hospitality possible in a divided America.

Join us for a walking tour through two of San Antonio’s most historic African American cemeteries—Eastview Cemetery and City Cemetery #3. Guided by SAAACAM storytellers, these tours bring to life the remarkable men and women who shaped our city’s history. From pioneering educators and civic leaders to soldiers, artists, and spiritual trailblazers, each gravesite reveals a story of resilience, pride, and purpose. Whether you’re a history lover or simply curious, this is a powerful way to experience San Antonio through the voices of those who helped build it.
