FROM THEN TO NOW: Black Women Who Built Texas

History didn’t happen by accident. It was built. Brick by brick. Voice by voice. Action by action.

These are just a few of the countless Black women who shaped Texas. Some are from right here in San Antonio. All of them created impact that reaches far beyond state lines and continues to shape life across this country.

Too often their stories are hidden, minimized, or forgotten. We’re changing that.

👇 Drop a name in the comments of a Black woman in our community who deserves their flowers.
🏷 Tag someone doing powerful work today.
🔁 Share this to help keep these stories alive.

Because honoring the past is how we protect the future.
