T
he planning and publicity bandwagon is up and rolling for the city’s big 300th birthday in 2018.
San Antonio 300 will be a “once-in-alifetime endeavor that will be celebrated over the course of a calendar year,” according to the official Tricentennial Commission website. It will be a great opportunity to showcase and appreciate the rich, colorful mix of folks and folkways that makes San Antonio such a special place. The University of Texas at San Antonio Institute of Texan Cultures, in the heart of the rapidly redeveloping Hemisfair, would seem a perfect jumping off point for citywide festivities. Born as the Texas State Exhibits Building for the original HemisFair ’68 (the 1968 World’s Fair), it was turned over to the University of Texas System in 1969. Containing exhibits, collections and archives of groups who have helped shape our state, it’s both a fascinating museum and important source of material for Texas educators. It seems ironic that as the ITC nears its own 50-year mark, its own future is highly uncertain.
