In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month Los Alcaldes de Béxar, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, will host a public history program that highlights the lives of early San Antonio alcaldes (mayors). The Los Alcaldes de Béxar Project promotes the education of those who made significant contributions to the economic and social sustainability of San Antonio from 1731 to 1836. About 62 alcaldes served during those 105 years and more than half of those men have been left out of the narrative in early Texas history.
This program will feature the portrait unveiling of alcalde, Jose Maria Salinas (1797-1851), the last San Antonio alcalde to serve before Texas independence, Los Alcaldes de Béxar exhibition, and a special presentation by Jesus "Frank" de la Teja, Ph.D., Regents’ Professor Emeritus and University Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Texas State University in San Marcos.
