Black History Marker Vandalized in San Antonio | San Antonio News

A historic Black history marker in San Antonio’s East Side has been deliberately vandalized, sparking outrage and renewed calls to protect civil rights heritage. Authored by activist Mario Salas and part of the SNCC Legacy Project, the plaque honored decades of Black struggle and community resilience — including ties to the Langston Hughes theater. Salas, no stranger to racial vandalism, believes this act was intentional and racially motivated. The SNCC Legacy Project confirms similar attacks are happening nationwide. Now, with help from the Neighborhoods First Alliance offering a $1,000 reward for tips, efforts are underway to replace the plaque with a more secure installation — ensuring this vital chapter of American history isn’t erased.
