#GivingTuesday

For Giving Tuesday, please donate to the Conservation Society! You can help in the fight to save Alamo Plaza, especially the Crockett and Woolworth Buildings!

Substantial time and resources have gone into research, organizing and advocacy for Alamo Plaza buildings and we need your support. Please consider a donation to the Society! Donate online at https://www.saconservation.org/donate/

Working with the Coalition for the Woolworth Building in May we released architectural renderings incorporating the Crockett and Woolworth buildings into the new Alamo museum. We also secured State Antiquities Landmark listing that month, and at Muertos Fest in October we joined with the NAACP and AKA to welcome hundreds to our prize-winning ofrenda for Mary Andrews, who led the lunch counter integration in 1960.

Just 5 weeks ago, the San Antonio Woolworth Building was named one of 25 sites on the World Monuments Watch List for 2020-2021. This is big! There are only 2 other sites in the United States and the Woolworth was one of only seven featured on the official video. Press coverage included TV spots with President Patti Zaiontz on WOAI Channel 4, Kens5 as well as WOAI radio. The New York Times discussed the San Antonio Woolworth, as did CNN and Art News, while the Toronto Star penned and in-depth piece on November 6. Many articles and opinion pieces supporting our efforts appeared in the San Antonio Express-News, including a ringing endorsement of the Society’s plan by Judge Nelson Wolff, and finally the editorial board's article supporting preservation appeared November 23!

Thank you so much for your support and warm wishes for a joyous holiday season! ... See MoreSee Less
