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.
