About San Antonio's Westside

San Antonio’s Westside embodies Mexican-American history and has helped define the city’s role as a national epicenter of Hispanic culture. It remains the heart of San Antonio’s Mexican American working class community, and continues to be a source of pride, producing many leaders, artists, visionaries and professionals.

The community has, however, suffered from pervasive patterns of structural violence, including racial segregation, redlining, educational neglect and political disenfranchisement. WestsideSAmap.png
