Seguin Public Library still collecting stories on race
All residents invited to share their racial experiences in Seguin, Guadalupe County By Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- Time is running out for people to have their stories heard as part of an initiative hosted by the Seguin Public Library, called “Seguin Talks About Race.” The event has included a community book study, a panel
discussion, and it will end this weekend with a collection of stories from local residents, who are coming in to talk about their experiences with race. The “Share Your Story” portion of Seguin Talks About Race will be showcased during public presentations this Saturday in the library’s Community Meeting Room. Erica Reyes is a library assistant and social media specialist, and she’s been the driving
force behind the collection of local stories that will be shared on Saturday. Reyes says time is running short, but she really would like for more people to come in and tell their stories. “We are looking to hear from the community. We are collecting the personal narratives of people -- what they’ve endured or what they’ve witnessed or lived through. Any personal experiences that they are willing to share with us -- we want to hear it,” said Reyes. Seguin and Guadalupe County both have a rich and diverse
background. That’s why Reyes says she hopes that people from all races and ethnicities and backgrounds will come in and share their experiences, their memories, and their stories about this important subject. “We are welcoming all stories, all narratives -- negative or positive, because there is some positive stuff out there, or just things that people have witnessed,” said Reyes.

Share Your Story: Seguin Talks About Race presentation this Saturday at library generations can listen to it and it can be available,” said Reyes. The library has been collecting stories for a few weeks now. Reyes says there have been all kinds of stories shared, but she says she would like to have more. She says there’s no need to be bashful or embarrassed about your experiences with race. There are all kinds of stories to be shared when it comes to talking about race.
RACISM, continued from page 1
Reyes says there is real power in story-telling. It’s something that helps to connect human beings in a unique way. She says that’s why this is such a big part of the Seguin Talks About Race initiative. “The purpose of this is to make it more of a personal feel to these stories, because you hear about them, and they are happening all over the nation, but we want to hear them locally. That brings a connection towards home and where we are in our community. And talking about previous experiences, like (these) unique stories, we are able to then see the faces behind it and hear the voices of people we know here locally in the community,” said Reyes. The library is able to record stories on site. Reyes says all you have to do is schedule your recording and they can take care of it for you. You can also record and submit your story using your cellphone, tablet or computer. She says it doesn’t matter how they receive your story, the most important thing is that your story comes in and that it gets to be added to this
community collection. “So they can come in and we can record their story. It can be a short story or a long story or a collection of stories. They can (also) submit it themselves and email it to the library, (library@ seguintexas.gov). All we ask is that it be in landscape form, or horizontal, when you record on your cellphone,” said Reyes. The stories collected will be pieced together to form a full “Share Your Story: Seguin Talks About Race” presentation. That presentation will be made available to the public on Saturday. “We are going to have this collection of stories for the community here at the library. It’s going to be Saturday, November 14. We are going to have it (playing) on a loop. So you can come into the library (and see it). It will be in the Community Meeting Room and it will be playing. The ultimate goal is to hopefully have it archived in the Library of Congress, so we are working with them and trying to get it archived, so future
“We know that there are very many perceptions on race and privilege and everything that’s going on. We welcome all of it, because everyone has a different perspective on their life. We want to hear these different perspectives and ways of life (and) what people have experienced. Whether it’s a direct experience that has affected you or something that you’ve witnessed or something that you’ve heard that has affected a family member or somone you know or care about. So that’s what we are trying to do, and we welcome all stories,” said Reyes. One story that has already been shared, comes from a local woman who is 80-years old. She didn’t give her name to the library, but she talked about growing up in Marion and having to take a public bus into Seguin to go to school. This happened when she was only 14-years old, yet it’s an experience that she speaks about vividly today. “My parents decided to send us to school in Seguin -- my two younger brothers and myself. At that time, there was a Boeing Bus Line, not Greyhound. It was the Boeing Bus Line. And we would ride the bus to Seguin to Ball High School everyday. We would get on the bus in Marion (and) the bus driver would say to us ‘you all can ride up here with
me until we get to the railroad track in McQueeney. And when we would get to the railroad track in McQueeney, you all are going to have to go to the back of the bus, because a white lady is going to get on (who) works in Seguin.’ On that bus, it was just the driver, one white lady and three black kids. And we had to go to the back of the bus. For two years, this happened to us,” said the woman in her story. Her story -- and the many others that have come forward -- reflects a complicated and often painful history of racial inequality. Not all stories will be the same, which is why so many more people need to come forward. This woman’s story wasn’t just about her, but it also included a plea for others to come forward and share their experiences. “I wish more black (people) that live in Seguin would come and talk about it. You see, I grew up in Marion, but we have blacks here that lived it too,” said the woman in her story to the library. The story-telling is not just for African-Americans in the community, but their stories are definitely a huge focus of this event. Reyes says all residents -- regardless of age, race or ethnicity -- should come try to be part of this event, which will be archived for future generations, and it will help Seguin continue to have a much needed conversation about race. To schedule an appointment to record your story, call the library at 830-401-2422 or send an email to library@ seguintexas.gov. You can also email your video directly to the library if you have the ability to record yourself at home.

Kruse Stadium at Morck Softball Field, maintained by head coach Wade Wilson and the softball coaching staff, is a frequent host for area high school playoff games.
Theos Morck served Texas Lutheran continuously for 37 years. He joined the faculty in 1938 as an instructor in the Business Department, and he also served as an assistant coach in football and basketball.
The facility also hosted the 2018 NCAA Division III Softball Seguin, Texas Regional Championship and Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship tournaments in 2014 and 2017.

order to keep the state in Phase Three of reopening. The new order will maintain current restrictions and face mask requirements. He says the state is currently in a plateau but the numbers have remained at a relatively high number. His concern is the number of hospitalizations, as more than 600 people are being treated for COVID complications. Bel Edwards says the state is 44th in the nation in case positivity, an improvement from 35th the week prior. The current positivity rate is just over five-percent.
Tips To Manage Election Exhaustion
(Washington, DC) -- Visitors to Washington, DC may need to get a COVID-19 test before traveling. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced new restrictions Thursday requiring people coming from highrisk states to get tested if they plan to stay longer than three days. There are currently 42 states on their high-risk list. The new rule will be implemented Monday.
(Undated) -- The U.S. is setting another daily record for new coronavirus cases. Numbers from Johns Hopkins University show over 118-thousand new infections were reported on Thursday. It was the second straight day cases topped 100-thousand. Colorado, Illinois, Utah and Wisconsin are among the states to also set new daily records on Thursday. Meantime, the CDC revealed its updated ensemble forecast, showing the American death toll could be as high as 266-thousand by the end of November. (San Francisco, CA) -- Anxiety over the presidential election is leading to more cases of nervous exhaustion. Neuroscientist Jud Brewer who specializes in anxiety and addiction said uncertainty releases more stress chemicals in our bodies. Those chemicals can make the world appear more threatening. This is why many are constantly doom scrolling on social media, where addiction and anxiety are amplified. To reverse the effects, Dr. Brewer said to step away from your phone, breathe deeply, pet a dog or cat, exercise, and focus on a difficult task. Any one of these activities will help decrease election exhaustion.
