Get to Know Francisco H. Cortés | Third Thursdays with Know Your Neighbor

1212 North Gevers Street,San Antonio TX 78202

18 May, 2023

Description

Every Third Thursday, we gather to hear directly from one of our San Antonio neighbors. They tell their story, and then we reflect on what we heard—and how it invites us to help bridge our city’s economic and cultural divides. Francisco H. Cortés is a teacher at Booker T. Washington Elementary School. Cortés is also founder, curator, and program director for The Light Catchers Society, a photo club that empowers students on the Eastside to reclaim their stories and advocate for their neighborhoods. Francisco and Light Catcher artists—all 6th graders at Washington Elementary—work together to document key issues, complex stories, and overlooked beauty in San Antonio's Eastside. Learn more about Francisco and his story at Third Thursday. At this event, we’ll have Know Your Neighbor event punch cards! After attending six of our events, you’ll submit your punch card and receive a $25 gift card to a local business.
