Black Brilliance: The Story of The Suttons

Discussion Presentation History

What’s Happening?

Join us for a special two-part event celebrating the rich legacy of the Sutton family in San Antonio!

We welcome honored guests Charles Andrews, Annlil Driver, Jeffrey Dean Sutton Green, and Alexander Carver Sutton Jr. to share the remarkable journey of their family, the Suttons. We will learn how the Suttons not only influenced our understanding of local, Black history but also about their lasting legacy on education, civil rights, politics, community organizing, and more in San Antonio and beyond.

The evening will conclude with a presentation led by Sylvia Reyna, Texana/Genealogy Special Collections Librarian, that will provide valuable strategies for family historians. Learn how to gather, preserve, and organize your family’s cherished memories, including documents and photographs. Bring your questions and enthusiasm for a hands-on experience in safeguarding your family’s history!

Don’t miss this opportunity to honor the Suttons and enhance your own family legacy!
