Many Central Texans spent Saturday celebrating Black History Month, with festivals taking place in Buda and East Austin.
Buda's Black History Celebration is now in its third year. Saturday’s event featured a car show, poetry, fun for the kids, and of course plenty of music.
"Really it's talking about how we can serve the whole African-American person in general, mentally, physically, as well as emotionally," said Sandra Bryant, an organizer of Buda’s Black History Celebration. "Me and my son, we came out, and actually we're enjoying it. We're meeting people, we're giving insight, we're getting information out," said Ragland.
"It’s spotlighting the excellence of the black vendors in the community, and it's an opportunity for everybody to support, which is a big part of what we do as well," said Faith Weaver, Culture and Arts Education Coordinator with the George Washington Carver Museum."It’s the idea of being resilient. It's the resilience of humans, mainly women, because I like to paint women, but the resilience of humans," said Rose.
