San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM)
The San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM) is a community-driven institution committed to collecting, preserving, and sharing the histories of African-descendant communities in San Antonio and the greater Southwest. Through exhibitions, oral histories, educational programs, and public events, SAAACAM expands cultural understanding and strengthens our city's historical narrative. As we prepare to open a 100,000-square-foot cultural center — including 30,000 square feet of exhibition space — SAAACAM is poised to advance cultural tourism, economic empowerment, and lifelong learning throughout the region.
