HONORING HISTORY: Painting the wall of those who paved the way in San Marcos

While driving through town, you may have noticed a colorful difference on the wall of the QC Meat Market located at 115-TX 123. 

The local grassroots, nonprofit organization, Mano Amiga has collaborated with the Council for the Indigenous and Tejano Community (CITC) to establish a mural highlighting significant Latinx figures that have impacted San Marcos. 

“Art and culture are such an important thread in the fabric of Indigenous and Tejano communities and it's always been a way for us to tell our stories and to preserve our history,” said Bobbie Garza-Hernandez, co-founder of the CITC.
